The best gift I have ever given was a golden fake diamond ring. When I gave the tiny package to my mom I said it was from my dad and I.My dad winked at me and she looked at us confused and resumed unwrapping the gift. Finally she opened the box and looked pleased at my dad and me.I felt proud of myself  for the present.

Have you ever wondered how tv was made? Well it was mase in 1972 by Philo Farnsworth. Philo at age 14 had an idea for television and had shown it to his high school teacher how he would catch light in a jar. And then he would let one beam out at a time. He said to his teacher he would use a magnet to et the beams make a picture. He said it would move as the beams moved. In 1972 he did it he was successful he made television! At the time it was blury but it took years to make as it is now but he did it.
