Communications will be highly refined, without the encumbrance of any wires to or between terminal devices.

In 1956, Hub was invited by the editors of a leading science fiction magazine, Amazing Stories (Ziff-Davis Publishing Company), to join over a dozen public figures such as Sid Caesar, Salvador Dali and John Cameron Swayze to predict what the world would be like in 2001.
Before long everyone in television wanted to use this new technology. But then Hoover announced in front of the entire nation that the teleprompter needed to restart the scrolling so he could read what to say, and the secret was out. As Hoover digressed from his prepared remarks to speak extemporaneously, the teleprompter properly stopped scrolling to await the completion of Hoover's ad-libbing. The teleprompter made its debut in 1950 on a soap opera called, "The First Hundred Years," and in 1952 Herbert Hoover became the first politician to use it when he gave the keynote address to the Republican National Convention. In 1947, he was invited to join Twentieth Century Fox in New York City as Director of Television Research.Ī prolific inventor, Schlafly is best known for developing the teleprompter in collaboration with Irving Berlin Kahn and Fred Barton, Jr., and for co-founding the TelePrompTer Corporation, which he led first as its Executive Vice President and later as its President. After graduation as an electrical engineer from the University of Notre Dame (Class of 1941), he spent several years working for General Electric and the MIT Radiation Laboratory.
