If, like me, you’re into Spider Robinson’s marvelous books (particularly the Callahan’s stories), Robinson claims (probably with considerable accuracy) that Tesla was the father of much more of our modern technology than is generally recognized or than Tesla was ever given credit for.

Oh no! I forgot about Tesla’s birthday! 
He is an unsung hero in the world of electricity and well as in a few other fields.
