Inventor and television pioneer Philo T. Farnsworth was born August 19, 1906 in Beaver County, Utah. The family moved to a farm near Rigby, Idaho during World War I. There, Philo set off on the path that would earn him the designation as “the father of television.”
I don't remember this date when it rolls around every year, but there's been enough in the wind lately that I remembered this time...
Oh, Happy Birthday Philo!! You have a great contribution on this earth. I can still remember your quotes telling your feelings about watching television. That is, "There's nothing on it worthwhile, and we're not going to watch it in this household, and I don't want it in your intellectual diet".
