Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of one of the country’s greatest machines was actually born in a log cabin, 1 to high school on horse back and without 2 of university degree(indeed, at age 14), thought of the idea of electronic television. In 1906 Farnsworth was born in a community near Beaver City, Utah, 3 by his grandfather. 4 he was 12, his family moved to a ranch (大牧場(chǎng))in Rigby, Idaho, which was four miles from, the nearest high school, 5 necessitating(使成為必要)his daily horseback rides. Because he was interested in the electron and electricity, he persuaded his chemistry teacher, Justin Tolman, to give him 6 instruction and to allow him to listen to a senior course.
The death of his father forced him to leave at the end of his second year, but, as it 7 , at no great intellectual cost. There were, at the time, no more than a handful of men 8 the planet who could have understood Farnsworth’s idea for building an electronic television system, and it’s 9 that any of them were at this local community. One such man was Vladimir Zworykin who had moved to the US from Russia with a Ph. D in electrical engineering. He went to work for Westinghouse with a dream of building an all-electronic television system. But he wasn’t 10 to do so.
