I saw on the Montell Williams show today (topic was young inventors) that a 14 year old kid invented the television. They weren't specific on who however.

Here's what I found:

"While the great minds of science, financed by the biggest companies in the world, wrestled with 19th century answers to a 20th century problem, Philo T. Farnsworth, age 14, dreamed of trapping light in an empty jar and transmitting it, one line at a time, on a magnetically deflected beam of electrons."

Philo Farnsworth was a self-educated farm boy from Rigby, Idaho, when he first sketched his idea for electronic television on a blackboard for his high school science teacher. Six years later, while competitors still struggled with mechanical television systems, Farnsworth successfully demonstrated his invention. He was 21.

In 1930, Farnsworth was awarded the fundamental patents for modern television. He spent the next decade perfecting his invention, fighting off challenges to his patents by the giant Radio Corporation of America and defending his vision against his own shortsighted investors who did not share his larger dream of scientific independence.

Here's the site that will tell you all about it, it's pretty interesting. I learned a lot.

In the mid 1930’s numerous manufacturers were working on developing the television. With the advent of world war two the American people wanted a way to see the images of war. By the early 1940’s the first electronic color TV was developed by the RCA Company.
