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. On the verge of international fame and fortune, his breakthrough was compromised when a competitor infiltrated his lab under false pretenses and claimed credit for his ideas. The Boy Who Invented Television is the definitive account of a once-in-a-century prodigy and his titantic struggle with one of the most ruthless monopolies in the world - David Sarnoff's Radio Corporation of America. Author Paul Schatzkin's independent research - drawn in part from his decades-long relationship with the Farnsworth family - illuminates a pivotal chapter of history that has remained buried since the 1930s. Farnsworth's invention was no incremental improvement - it was an epic breakthrough in what humans can achieve with the fundamental forces of nature. This book not only restores his rightful place in history, it also reveals the unfulfilled potential of his genius that is still waiting to be unlocked.
