Nikola Tesla

[Fergie72]

It's a crime the way he was screwed over by the power brokers of his day, and an absolute shame that he is absent from the text books in our schools.

He was a brilliant man, whose story I find fascinating.

We wouldn't even be using computers today without the man...In fact we still might be using 1920's technology today...The man was several hundred years ahead of his time...

It is sad like you say that probably less than 5% of people know who he is and what he did...

But 95% of people know who Kim Kardashian is...

What priority's...

We have a unit of measure called the Tesla, a car called Tesla, and a band called Tesla. What else do you want?

In EE circles he is revered whereas Edison and Franklin are usually hated.

I want schools to teach about Tesla along with Edison and how there was a battle between the two of them. I also want the fact that the FBI raided his apartment and stole his papers upon his death to be taught.

Telsa was a great man. He had to dig ditches for a living after Edison screwed him over the first time.
