Inventor of Television

Philo T. Farnsworth invented electronic television when he was 14. Watch this 1956 game show where he describes today's HD flat-screen monitors with memory playback. Amazing!

I would not mind winning money and smokes. Back then smokes were cheaper too. That was a great video tho.

great vid, too bad he probably didn`t live to see his planned inventions like hdtvs come to be, but this goes to show what we envision can be achieved 50 years into the future

Big respect. But sadly nuclear fusion is STILL another 30 years or so away ( thats what my prof says at least) its just too damn hard to get into that energy well.

Sad that many people in that audience didn`t live to see how amazing HD look. But then again, the future would say the same. I love technology.><

not surprising realy, most people dont know that electric cars where invented BEFORE petrol cars, however some people relized that theres alot of money to be made in OIL! also theres documents from the 50s listing instructions and descriptions of CD drives and fiber optics.

But if you trickle this stuff out you can A: keep the general population WAY behind, technologicaly, and B: make a SHIT LOAD of cash!
