75年前电视在旧金山郊外的一间实验室里诞生了。它的创造者是年仅21岁的美国男孩菲洛·法恩斯沃思。在20世纪的大部分时间里，他几乎被人们遗忘了———尽管他的发明塑造了20世纪，甚至从某种意义上成为这个世纪的特征。
Hint:
Neil Armstrong

In 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong climbed down the side of the space vehicle that had taken him to the moon. As his foot touched the surface of the moon, pictures of the event were sent back to televisions on Earth. The pictures were not very good. It was hard to see astronaut Armstrong clearly. The surface of the moon was extremely bright. And the moon lander vehicle created a very dark, black shadow. But the quality of the television pictures was not important. Every man, woman and child who saw the television pictures understood they were watching an important event. They were watching history take place as it was happening many hundreds of thousands of kilometers away.
