You found the following article and prepared notes for your presentation. ┌―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――┐ ｜　Who invented television? It is not an easy question to answer. In 　｜ ｜the early years of the 20th century, there was something called a 　　｜ ｜mechanical television system, but it was not a success. Inventors were｜ ｜also competing to develop an electronic television system, which later｜ ｜became the basis of what we have today. In the US, there was a battle ｜ ｜over the patent for the electronic television system, which attracted ｜ ｜people's attention because it was between a young man and a giant 　　｜ ｜corporation. This patent would give the inventor the official right to｜ ｜be the only person to develop, use, or sell the system.　　　　　　　 ｜ ｜　Philo Taylor Farnsworth was born in a log cabin in Utah in 1906. His｜ ｜family did not have electricity until he was 12 years old, and he was ｜ ｜excited to find a generator--a machine that produces electricity--when｜ ｜they moved into a new home. He was very interested in mechanical and　｜ ｜electrical technology, reading any information he could find on the 　｜ ｜subject. He would often repair the old generator and even changed his ｜ ｜mother's hand-powered washing machine into an electricity-powered one.｜ ｜　One day, while working in his father's potato field, he looked　　　｜ ｜behind him and saw all the straight parallel rows of soil that he had ｜ ｜made. Suddenly, it occurred to him that it might be possible to create｜ ｜an electronic image on a screen using parallel lines, just like the 　｜ ｜rows in the field. In 1922, during the spring semester of his first 　｜ ｜year at high school, he presented this idea to his chemistry teacher, ｜ ｜Justin Tolman, and asked for advice about his concept of an electronic｜ ｜television system. With sketches and diagrams on blackboards, he　　　｜ ｜showed the teacher how it might be accomplished, and Tolman encouraged｜ ｜him to develop his ideas.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 ｜ ｜　On September 7, 1927, Farnsworth succeeded in sending his first 　　｜ ｜electronic image. In the following years, he further improved the 　　｜ ｜system so that it could successfully broadcast live images. The US　　｜ ｜government gave him a patent for this system in 1930.　　　　　　　　 ｜
