Philo Farnsworth

Philo grew up plowing a potato field in Utah, dreaming as he watched the neat rows go by.

One day he realized pictures could be sent through the air the same way — line by line.

He sketched his idea on the chalkboard when he was only fourteen.

Years later, at 21, he sent the very first electronic television picture.

Every TV you've ever watched is based on his idea.
