Nikola Tesla was born on July 10, 1856 precisely at midnight during an electrical storm, to a Serbian family in his village. He did his studies in Europe and moved to the US in 1884 to work in the "Edison Machine Works". Tesla was the first to demonstrate the transmission of electrical energy without wires and in 1899, but is better know for his achievements in telecommunications. Nikola also worked hard and long on high frequency radio waves. His genius in telecommunications would be either discarded or used by others like Edison. Every contact center or cell phone company, or answering service owes the man a great deal. From AT&T to Sprint, to now Yahoo/SBC and so on. they all owe Tesla for being the genius that he was and helping make the telecom field what it is today.
