The downfall Of man
Such a significant invention and Farnsworth remained obscure and largely unknown.
Chinese now builts everything.
that teacher believing and supporting in his student changed the future forever
Thanks, This has made me pass the grade ❤️
What is this heist music
This certainly does not live up to the quality of other Machines the Built America episodes I've seen. The laboratory scenes are hilariously anachronistic, and don't bear much relation to reality. It's as though they either didn't research beyond Wikipedia and/or put no money into the scenes beyond the costumes. Disappointing treatment for a major contributor to TV technology.
This clears up confusion. Us Brits take credit for inventing television and so do Americans. I understand why now.
Farnsworth was ONE of the tv inventors. As far as the British are concerned John Logie Baird was the first TV inventor.
Telly was invented by Scotsman 🏴
Whose the contributor at 2:03?
It's been a long time since I've seen actual history on the History Channel. Pretty neat, the re-enactment shots are great
Ugh
Invented by the French
Fax Machines
And it’s all thanks to Tesla. All hail Tesla.
Sad thieves get the fame. The show on Netflix about titans were better
Unfortunately there are people that steal ideas of other ones. Farnsworth was destroyed completely when stole his idea. If you have a great brainstorm, produce a document that prove you are the owner.
My father came home one day in 1965 with a new Zenith 20" portable television. Portable because it could carried by the strap that was attached to the top of it.
The thing weighed a ton. And the really amazing thing about it was that it was remote controlled! I couldn't believe it! We watched a lot of Twilight Zone and Outer Limits episodes together on that tv. RIP Dad. 💖
Thank you so much @History Channel for this series!! Im a 2nd grade teacher, and one of our units is Then and Now. With this series, Im able to show my students how these everyday items came to be!
Everything was impossible until someone did it.
Is that Captain Disillusions voice???
Finally some good programming, loved the show with the transcontinental railroad building.
My dad built and sold the first television in Vicksburg MS from a Heathkit "kit" that he ordered from New York. I think it was 1941. There were no TV stations in the area. He then had to build an antenna tower that was 118 ft tall to pickup a station out of New Orleans. I can imagine he was as proud as Philo when he got a picture. His TV and appliance store is still in bussiness today. Established in 1936.
I knew this dudes son
He is one of the smartest
fascinating
Dam who'd know potatoes would change the world lol
Farnsworth you say……..
what about the rest od the story!?… Sarnoff and the RCA that ruined his life
good news, everyone!
Such an American name
david sarnoff leaves the group.,
Good for him
I remember in 1959 watching a black n white TV with only 3 channels
Now we have over a thousand
American children should have been taught to make televisions
My dad used to tell me about going to the 1930’s NYC Worlds Fair as a kid and seeing the first TV.
Said no one ever thought that watching movies in a box would ever take off but they couldn’t wait till they got one of those flying cars !
Me my big genius moment realizing Skittles are just jelly beans shaped round.
Blowing up the same 6G6 radio pentode over and over was hysterically funny.
Seriously, no Futurama jokes?
this is just the story the goverment want us to Know
Wait, so basically you can still have hair white like wool and still be bald? K, got it🤔
I was just in rigby a couple weeks ago 👍🏼
Invention turn every people on this planet into a couch potato.
