  • Yeah, The Damn Thing works! HAHA

  • Farnsworth's battle with David Sarnoff/RCA over his TV technologies is very similar to Edwin Armstrong's battles with David Sarnoff /RCA over Armstrong's FM radio technologies. FM was superior to AM for things like music. So why didn't Armstrong become become rich? and why did it take so long for FM to become widespread? Because David Sarnoff prevented it. The pioneers of radio, Sarnoff included, also borrowed technologies from Tesla w/o necessarily giving money or credit.

  • Way to go Southeastern Idaho!

  • John Logie Baird invented the first tv transmission of a picture

    no matter how primitive Baird got their first

    Farnsworht invented nothing that had aleady been done before..

  • these inveters were sent by god,,,this is what i think,,,,

  • This should be called "Television innovator : Philo Taylor Farnsworth (1906 -1971)"

    The first television broardcast was by John Logie Baird in 1924 in Britain!

  • America's mythic wealth wasn't built by rugged individuals-entrepreneurs. Was itstolen from them? From 1800 until about 1950, American economic policy, business policy & foreign trade policy resembled pretty much that of China today, collusion between "special Chinese entrepreneurs" & guv'mint? The Radio Co of America, RCA was 50% owned by the U.S. Navy from about 1919 until the mid-1930s. Some, but not TVs real inventor, got rich as a result of intense government-business cooperation.

  • Great Man !!

  • United Nations, UNESCO decided that who was the inventor the electronic TV. It was Kálmán Tihanyi

  • Think of the scientific and technological progress that could be made if inventors shared ideas freely. And if school students were tought the cutting edge proprietary technologies so that they could build on them and not have to reinvent the wheel (or worse, be prevented from even using the wheel were they to reinvent it).

  • It's a shame when large corporations either try to steal an independant inventor's patents or try to suppress the technology. What a waste if time, energy and money for the inventors who fight these legal battles. Tesla had so many ideas, and so little concern about money that he didn't let his patent battles with corporations and fanciers hinder his progress as much as the other independant inventors did.
