A world of no television

A World of No Television(by Ethan12345)
In our timeline television has become a commonly use technological piece for entertainment, education, politics, etc..and influenced much of the world and affected millions. This seemingly complex yet simple invention decided the fate of elections,of conflicts and of the world, and change society both culturally, political, and economically for better or for worse demanding on your personal preference. But, no matter what your preference is; you can't deny that Phil Farnsworth's invention has changed the world. However, what if In an alternate timeline Television was never invented, well, lets find out.

Phil Farnsworth Life
Philo T Farnsworth (1906-1971) to summarize his existence is that he has been called the "forgotten father of television." He grew up in Utah and southern Idaho, and was described as a genius by those who knew and worked with him. With only a high school education, Farnsworth drew his first television schematic for his high school teacher in Rigby, Idaho. Subsequent claims and litigation notwithstanding, he was the first to transmit a television image. Farnsworth filed ten patents between 1927 and 1929 for camera tubes (transmitting), circuitry, and the cathode ray tube (viewing). After his early years as an inventor in San Francisco, he worked as an engineer, doing battle with RCA in the 1930s over patent rights, formed the Farnsworth Television Company in

the 1940s, and worked for IT&T after their purchase of the Farnsworth enterprises. Every television set soldutilized at least six of his basic patents. Because of endless legal wrangling with RCA over patent rights, he received very little financial reward for his television patents. Donald Godfrey examines the genius and the failures in the life of Philo Farnsworth as he struggled to be both inventor and entrepreneur.

(Yes this is a copy a paste summary, but I'm siting It and giving credit so don't get butt hurt)

Point of Divergence
Its 1925, America, is in the midst of the roaring twenties a decade of economic prosperity(although some would argue otherwise) after World War One, Phil Farnsworth; Is driving to his home town of Beaver, Utah.

He was approaching the limits of his town, until, a bright light blinded him and made him drove into a ditch and crashed into a tree instantly killing him. News is sent to all his friends and family, who intended his funeral and mourn their loss and just like that the television wasn't invented because In OTL was created two years later.

Not only that, but, his Farnsworth–Hirsch furor (polywell) which is a device that uses an electric field to heat ions to conditions suitable for nuclear fusion. The machine generates an electric potential difference between two metal cages inside a vacuum. Positive ions fall down this voltage drop, building up speed. If they collide in the center, they can fuse.

Which lead to better research into harvesting the power of the atom, but If he would've died before even convening It, It would never exist, thus It could delay nuclear power research. His inventions also contributed to the development of radar, infra-red night vision devices, the electron microscope, the baby incubator, the gastroscope, and the astronomical telescope.
