The date of birth of a scientist - March 13, 1916. The parents of the boy were exit from the Middle East: Father Isaac - from Istanbul, and Mother Lena is from Jerusalem. In the family, in addition to Jacques, two more children were brought up - senior David and younger Fred.
In many ways, his grandfather has influenced his grandfather, who lived with Fresco in Brooklyn, the New York area. Head's elder brother at one time has explained the boy the theory of evolution available to the boy than the critical attitude towards religion in it. During the Great Depression, the Father, who worked before this, was forced to quit. And at the time of the sole feed of the family, the mother remained, who worked as seamstress.
In school, a small fresco behaved in an unusual way. Once he did not agree to swear the flag of the United States, explaining it with his love for all mankind. He caused his resentment from teachers. But unexpectedly, the director supported the boy and gave him the opportunity to learn everything he wants. Two years of Jacques visited the library, read scientific literature, made experiments in a small laboratory, which was organized at home.
Two years later, the director of the school died, and Fresco left the educational institution. He became more active in self-education, and at the age of 13 for the first time he hit the local airport, where he began to study the design of aircraft.
Education
This activity is so interested in the boy that he decided to become a airliner. In 1930, the Great Depression came, and Jacques left the house. He began to travel around the country on the travelers. At this time, the teenager was interested in economic processes that caused such a decline. Jacques made for himself the findings that money is not needed to achieve a developed society. He shared his ideas with Albert Einstein, who once visited at home. The conversation made a big impression on the Fresco and put a certain imprint on the development of his ideas.
At 18 years old, Fresco begins to professionally engage in design, and the first significant work of the aircraft fastening system and a new chassis type were developed. In 1939, he is arranged in the airline Douglas Aircraft, from which he soon quit due to a number of disagreements with the bosses.
Jacques other than scientific activities were interested in social ministry, and he worked for some time at the center of the rehabilitation of disadvantaged segments of the population. Speaking all the futility of temporary assistance to alcoholics and drug addicts, Jacques quit. He came to the conclusion that it was necessary to eliminate the cause, and not a consequence. At the end of the 30th Fresco goes to the island of Tuamot to study the life of aborigines.
During World War II, Jacques Fresco was called to the service in the army. He was instructed by the development of air carriers for the military needs of the state. Having made a number of promising discoveries, with the end of hostilities, the scientist resigned to the reserve. Work in the militarist industry contradicted its internal installations. He already began to think about changing the world order and eliminate any wars.
Jacques wondered: if the state spends 500 times more funds for militarization than the national economy, then this society can be called reasonable? The first tests of the nuclear bomb confirmed the absurdity of modern civilization in the eyes of Futurist.
Primary activity
More and more he began to come to the idea of creating a symbiotic public order, which will organically include the coexistence of man and nature. Jacqua Engineer interested in creating fully paid housing, which can function autonomously, without consumption of external power sources.
The first such project, which was created in the Commonwealth with Erl Munits, was the construction of a building from a special aluminum design. The show of the first EcoDom was held at the studio of Hollywood and brought a great revenue to his creators they spent on charity. But the US budget refused to provide financial support for the construction of such buildings, and the project remained unrealized.
Soon Jacques is solved on the creation of a research center, the main laboratories of which are located in Los Angeles. Fresco starts active teaching and inventive activity. After 5 years, his brainchild was declared bankrupt, and he went on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean in Miami.
His sphere of Jacques has chosen sales psychology, on this topic he began to lecture.

Jacques Fresco does not cease to engage in its developments of environmental housing, which was called the name "American Project". For the first time, the idea of a circular city, as well as new projects of prefabricated houses-sandwiches, photos and a description of which were published in leading scientific publications of North America. Fresco performed its inventive activity on the basis of the company's own company Jacque Fresco Enterprises, which was engaged in design work, in particular, the development of modern building structures from aluminum.
At the age of 53 years, Jacques creates the first scientific work "Look forward", which summarized his experience in the study of modern society and gave a number of forecasts for the near future. Fresco very realisticly described Society of the XXI century, in which the work of cybernetic machines will come to the change of physical work. This will allow humanity to free up time for self-development and intellectual knowledge of the world. In his works, Jacques Fresco describes the ideal model of an ancient Greek society, but in the realities of the future.
Project "Venus"
In 1974, a scientist made an announcement of the establishment of a fundamentally new draft world order to create a fundamentally new draft world order.
