Intro Barely at the age of thirteen Philo Farnsworth was already shaping up to be the next Einstein by inventing a first place ignition switch. (Philo Taylor Farnsworth) Then later in his teenage years he made a diagram of a model for the tv. (Farnsworth, Philo) People say that Philo Farnsworth practically made the tv, and they are right. He is the most influential person that came to the tv, although others helped too. Also many overlooked him, so this will tell why one should care. Others also encountered many ideas, and without these ideas the tv would not be here today. Because of this great invention events happened recent to the time, but if one would fast forward a century or so they will see its impact in our lives.

These men are some of the greatest pioneers in science. (The Invention of Television) Later in 1880 Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell wanted to upgrade the telephone and make it transmit images. Also to top it off, light was already being used it would be easier for one to make the “Photophone”. (The Invention of Television) As earlier said Philo Farnsworth won an award for a fool proof car ignition switch. This was from the Science and Invention Magazine, and this probably started his interest in electronics and technical machines. (Farnsworth, Philo) Now it is the 1900’s and people have stopped chasing butterflies and started to work. From here on out it seemed to be the electrical version had ousted out mechanical. This all thanks to to Campbell Swinton and Boris Rosing, because these men greatly improved the thinking going towards the tv by using cathode ray tubes. (The Invention of
