Hugo Gernsback demonstrating his television goggles in 1963. Hugo went on to create his own very obedient in breed of electric dog that would follow a man with a magnetic cane. This was 76 years before Sony came out with the Aibo robotic dog!
Hugo Grensback was more than a minor inventor; he was also an early and rather famous science fiction writer and publisher. Along with H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, Gernsback is sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction".
Gernsbeck's Amazing Stories magazine has been published, with some interruptions, for 100 years, and the annual "Hugo" awards, presented at the World Science Fiction Convention, are named after him.
