Description
Rediscover the boundless potential of human ingenuity through the mostly forgotten story of The Boy Who Invented Television. Philo T. Farnsworth was a teenage farm boy in rural Idaho when he he applied Albert Einstein's theories to a simple sketch he drew for his high-school science teacher. Every video screen on the planet can trace its origins to that sketch! Nearly a century ago, Farnsworth secured the first of more than 150 patents that laid the cornerstone of the television industry.
