We saw a doco on the history channel that was, in part at least, about Tesla. One of his patents got stolen by Marconi - at least that's what I gathered, I was trying to baby wrangle at the same time LOL.
Modern Man owes more to the inventions of Nikola Tesla than to Thomas Edison.
(in addition to honoring him as a unit of measure, the band, Tesla, rocked...certainly more than "The Edisons")
