reviewed The Boy Who Invented Television: A Story of Inspiration, Persistence and Quiet Passion on August 16, 2010 The Boy Who Invented Television: A Story of Inspiration, Persistence and Quiet Passion
This is the true story of Philo T. Farnsworth, an under-educated farm boy who invented television. It covers the invention process, but also the issues that go along with that. Financial backers wanting results, rivals trying to prevent him from driving his ideas forward, and even some industrial espionage. The birthing process of television was frought with hazards, both personal and professional. The ammount of time it took to come to market is a clear indicator of that.
Philo Farnsworth is an unmitigated genious, one of the sharpest minds of all time. Yet he is largly forgotten. It is unfortunate, because his name should be mentioned with the likes of Bell, Edison, Davinci and even Einstien. The book is well written. The story is compelling.
