"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance. Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone. A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket." - Nikola Tesla 1926

Just sneakin' around....
All I heard about in school was Edison, didn't really hear about Tesla until I was years out of school. I was kinda, 'why the hell hadn't I ever heard of this guy'...
I lived less than a mile from Tesla's Long Island facility in Shoreham, and had no clue what he was all about until much much later in life.
