Introduction
Wonderful inventions have been made in science and
technology recently. This advances are changing the
lifestyle of millions of people all over the world. By the
end of the 20th century lots of inventions have been
appeared. Some of them have become so commonplace
that it is difficult to imagine them things to make our life
more comfortable. Almost every day a new technique or
product appears in the world. But we always need
something more useful, more effective, more
comfortable.
In1876 Alexander Graham Bell, an American engineer,
invented telephone.
By the end of 1940, Baird had designed a high definition colour television
receiver and the following year he produced stereoscopic colour. His system of
producing colour was by means of rotating colour filters. He was determined
to achieve a fully electronic colour television receiver. And he did. On 16th
August 1944, he demonstrated the television picture of his favourite tailor’s
dummy.
John Logie Baird
Baird died in his sleep on the 14th June 1946, before he could complete his
work. There was not any place in Westminster Abbey for this genius, no lavish
praise from the BBC, no honours from his country. He was buried in the little
churchyard in Helensburgh, the place of his birth.
