Thoughts? BTW, Sikorsky developed his helicopter in the United States and on the Television bit, what about Philo T. Farnsworth?

The "invention" of television is a complicated story, with a lot of people involved. There were competing systems under development at the same time. The commercial development of tv in the US is another interesting tale.

What annoys me is that although the world is going digital, we still don't have a single world standard.
