Remembering Lee De Forest

A number of posts about the invention of the amplifier by Lee De Forest in 1906. A crucial step in the broad application of electronics. As the Gizmodo article indicates, he is rarely membered today. Gizmodo quotes from Nick Carr's new book, The Shallows. Like Tesla he made little from his remarkable inventions and died relatively poor.
