HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE

PHILO T. FARNSWORTH

Inventor of TELEVISION

Bio:

Television was conceived by several visionaries and even science fiction writers before it ever existed. It took an inventor like Farnsworth to make it a reality. His self-taught knowledge and creativity figured out how to put the electron to work to provide recognizable images electronically. Although he never received his rightful monetary or scientific recognition, it was his invention that changed the world, for better or worse.
