Sinopsis
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.
Buy The Boy Who Invented Television—and reawaken the genius hidden behind every video screen you see today.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. A MUST READ FOR ANYBODY WHO WATCHES TELEVISION!In the 1920s, while the great minds of science - financed by the biggest companies in the world - wrestled with 19th century solutions to a 20th century problem, 14-year-old Philo T. Farnsworth dreamed of trapping light in an empty jar and transmitting it, one line a time, on a magnetically deflected beam of electrons. Every video screen on the planet today can trace its origins to a sketch that Farnsworth drew for his high-school science teacher in 1922. Five years later, on September 7, 1927, electronic video arrived on the planet in his makeshift laboratory in San Francisco.In 1930, Philo Farnsworth was awarded the fundamental patents for modern television. He spent the next decade perfecting his invention, fighting off legal challenges from the giant Radio Corporation of America, and defending his entrepreneurial vision of an independent company that could fund even greater advances with the millions that his patents were sure to earn. Based in part on the theories first expressed by Albert Einstein, those patents made everything that had gone before obsolete and everything that has come since possible - from ultra-high-definition, flat-panel displays to smartphones. In 1950s and '60s, Farnsworth used the unique knowledge he'd acquired in his laboratory to develop a novel approach to the Holy Grail of modern science - clean, safe, an abundant energy from nuclear fusion.Though largely lost to the annals of popular history, this is the absolutely true story of a once-in-a-century scientist whose unprecedented genius is reawakened every time we turn on a TV.
