Did you know how a simple potato helped in inventing television?
Yes, the 14-year-old farm boy Philo Farnsworth, inspired by the rows of potatoes on his farm, first sketched his idea for the electronic television in 1921. At school, Farnsworth shared his 'image dissector' idea with his chemistry teacher, and later, in 1927, he demonstrated the first operational electronic television system. Farnsworth’s invention, which scanned images with a beam of electrons, is the direct ancestor of modern television. Every time we watch TV, we have a 14-year-old farm boy and his novel idea to thank for. A farming chore ended up revolutionizing communication worldwide, a testament to human creativity and innovation. .
