SCOTLANDS INVENTORS REMEMBERED.

SCOTLANDS INVENTORS REMEMBERED.

SCOTLANDS INVENTORS REMEMBERED will be a tribute in part to some of those great Scottish minds who in one way or another helped to develope the multi-talented Scottish nation.
Oldmeldrum Academy is where my grandson gets taught and thanks to the Oldmeldrum Academy the children there are being taught the importance of our Scottish heritage which includes past and present Scottish born inventors and the way Scots inventors have changed our world. A big thanks to my grandson for todays report on probably one of the most important inventions of all time;

ie; the television.
In February 1924 an inventor from Scotland called John Logie Baird made a TV that could have images of silhouettes!
On October the 2nd, 1925 the same person invented a TV that could have moving images!
The quality of the images wasn’t very good and you couldn’t even see the expression on a persons face!
In his laboratory he managed to make the first moving image!
The image was of a ventriloquists dummy's head!
As soon as he managed to get the dummy's head on the T.V. he ran downstairs and got an office worker
called William Edward Taynton and put him on T.V. and that means he was the first person ever to be on T.V.
He only managed to get 30 lines resolution and 5 pictures per second.
Scotsman John Logie Baird changed the world with the invention of the T.V.
In the lead up to the Homecoming Scotland 2009 celebrations we feel it only right to remind those who will visit Scotland over the 2009 events that the Scots are gifted inventors as our history proves.
