Farnsworth and David Sarnoff. The narrative opens with television’s impact on everyday life and historic events, then rewinds to a time when sending moving pictures with sound seemed impossible. It introduces the competing inventors’ backgrounds, highlighting Farnsworth’s experimental curiosity with electricity and his early ideas for transmitting images through the

the stadium celebrate,the soundbooms from your set.Watching the Super Bowl on televisionlets you see the action from above the stadium,down on thefield,and even from the players'point of view.  \nTelevision has shared some historic moments with peoplearound the world,from presidential debates to the firstmoon landing.But watching live events from your homewas not always such a simple thing.Even a century ago,sending moving pictures with sound through the air seemedincredible,maybe even impossible.  \nThis 1912 movie camera was called a kinetograph.Its movies were shown on thekinetoscope,a device that only one person could use at a time.  \nBy the early twentieth century,the movie camera wasrecording moving pictures and radio was sending soundsthrough the air.Coming up with a way to merge these twotechnologies was the key to making television happen.Injust forty years,television would become a phenomenon thatswept across the United States.  \nBut it was a difficult race to get to the first simpletelevision broadcast.Two all-star competitors stood outfrom the rest.These two\"televisioneers\"would be on eachother's heels to invent the first version of the televisionwe know.The underdog was Philo T.Farnsworth,a farmboy turned scientist.The high-profile champion was theinfluential radio executive David Sarnoff.The battle wouldlast more than a decade and cost millions of dollars.  \n# CHAPTER 1\n\nATEEn GEMIUS  \nhilo was eleven when his family moved to a farm nearRigby,Idaho.It was 1918,and his new home had somethingvery exciting—electricity.Philo
