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.

Although history of science is not a very important concept to teach to the children in nowadays, but the children also needed to be taught about the history of science in order to instill the value of appreciation among the new generation.
KIds nowadays should appreciate and learn from past time scientists and inventors, their desire and also their determination. We must learn not to give up easily and keep on doing until we are success.
Wow, these scientists inspire, motivate me a lot, and strengthen my believes that kids can be great inventor. Nurturing kids from their childhood time to be innovative and creative will have a great impact in their development in creation of science and technology. It's impact in the whole life, their creation can be benefit to all the human beings...Hence, we as teacher must believe in kids' strength and give them the best support and opportunities.
