There was a question in a buzztime game last night (sometime after 10:30pm EST) about what John Baird invented.

The answer was (3) television.

I didn't go with it because I always thought it was Farnsworth who invented television.

I'm not sure there's a really clear cut answer here, at least according to this:

Who would you say invented television?

IIRC, none of the other options were even close and I knew that he was involved with electronics. That's why I went with Baird. OTOH, the ice tea and water may have affected what's left of my brain. 8-)

I think TV is kind of like several other devices (telegraph, telephone, etc.) that have multiple legitimate inventors.
