In 1927, the first modern electronic television system was invented by 21-year-old, Philo Taylor Fansworth, a young electronic buff. This young genius ideas proved to be lengths ahead of the mechanical television system of the day. Using his theories, Farnsworth was able to use a beam of electrons to capture moving images. His first image transmission was a line, then he famously transmitted a dollar sign via his invention. He did this after a prospective investor asked “When are we going to see some dollars in this thing, Farnsworth?”
