John Logie Baird demonstrated the first working television in 1925 in Scotland. While not the sole inventor, Baird created the first television using other inventors' work and began commercializing his television after perfecting it, with the BBC beginning broadcasts using Baird's television in 1936. In 1928, Philo Farnsworth made the first reliable and working television system in the US, and by the 1940s televisions began mass production and widespread use.
