What’s wrong with this photo?
Born in Guadalajara in 1917, and never quire finishing high school, and tooling around with junk parts from his radio gig, this guy completely changed the way we see the world.
Despite not having any degree, Guillermo Gonzáles Camarena was a proficient enough radio engineer while still a teenager to be hired by the Mexican Department of Education radio department. From junk parts he built a television set in 1934. Not the first person to do so, by any means, he recognized how crude, and flat the images were, and started thinking about how to improve those images on the screens… and by 1940 had patented his new invention, although there was an experimental broadcast of improvements he’d made in his original patent in 1949 (live … from an operating room in Hospital Juarez) it was only in 1963 that manufacturers began releasing to consumers televisions with the features he’d been continously upgrading for 20 years… color television.
So, why are all his photos black and white?
