Finally the Genius of Inventions series looks at a defining characteristic of our times; the ability to see and record live events anywhere in the world. It makes virtual neighbors of us all and is a fundamental part of our modern world. This episode tells the story of the inventors who tackled the complexities of chemistry and electronics and discovered how to capture and reproduce still and moving images. Their brilliance led to our final three genius inventions; still photography, moving pictures and finally, television.
