E-book exclusive: "The Story Behind the Story" by Evan I. Schwartz.Lone inventor Philo T. Farnsworth is the true genius behind the invention of TV. RCA's David Sarnoff was determined to control television the way his company had monopolized radio -- by clearing the field of anyone who got in his way. Philo T. Farnsworth got in his way.Many men have laid claim to the title "The Father of Television," but Philo T. Farnsworth is the true genius behind TV. Farnsworth may have ended up a footnote in history, yet he was the first to demonstrate an electronic process for scanning, transmitting, and receiving moving images.
