History too has proven to us that young inventors who became well-known for their contributions, such as Thomas Alva Edison had devoted his spare time mainly in experimentations since the age of 15 years old and Alexandra Graham Bell had been working on the idea of transmitting speech since he was 18. If not for their persistence and early interest in the technology, we would have to wait for a longer time to see in darkness just by a click of a switch and have the ability to hear someone’s voice, who is miles and miles away, in a split second through a phone line.

Another good example of kid inventor was Philo Taylor Farnsworth, a 14 year-old who realized that an electron beam could scan a picture in horizontal lines, reproducing the image of the picture almost instantaneously. His finding was a critical discovery towards electronic television. In fact, that famous discovery was a breakthrough that has brought joy and knowledge to many through the world of television.
