Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821. Without this, we woud not have the technological appliances we take for granted today. Faraday' s face used to be on the British £20 note from 1991 to 2001.

George Stephenson designed a steam train locomotive called the "Rocket". It was a great success and encouraged the growth of railways, which played a very important part in the industrial Revolution in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Many of the items we use today were invented during that time.

Charles Babbage is considered to be "The Father of Computing". By 1834, he had invented the "analytical engine", which established the basic principles of computing. Although he never completed any of his computerised machines, his detailed drawings were used to build a model of his Difference Machine No. 2 at the London Science Museum. It was completed in 1991, and it performed mathematical calculations very accurately.

John Logie Baird worked hard to transmit the first real television images in 1925, a dream of many scientists for decades before. His first ''TV set'' could be made from everyday objects such as a biscuit tin, cardboard and string! Later, others took Baird's ideas and slowly developed TV as we know it today.
