Listen "The Teenager Who Invented the Television"
Episode Synopsis
Television reshaped the modern world, but its invention did not begin in a laboratory funded by a major corporation. It started in a plowed field. As a teenager growing up on a Utah farm, Philo Farnsworth sketched an idea that would change how humanity communicates: a system to transmit moving images electronically. Years later, that teenage insight became the foundation of television, setting off one of the most bitter and consequential patent battles in American history.
