I have been told that the 1st television was invented by someone in Mexico and that the patent was stolen. Is this true? Where can I get the info to verify this?

True james baird did invent the first TV - but it was a mechanical system with rotating disks...not very practical. Philo T. Farnsworth is the man who is considered the father of moden electronic TV. Read the book "the last lone inventor" for more on his amazing strory and the role RCA and david sarnoff played in destroying this brilliant man.

It was John Logie Baird, and he was Scottish, not American.
