The guy who invented television thought it was trash and wouldn't let his kids watch it!

American engineer, Philio Farnsworth, would grow to create one of the most iconic invention. His invention, the television, would change how people spend their day to day lives for the rest of human history.

When Farnsworth started going to an engineering school, he already had an idea as to what the television he would soon invent would look like and what it could do.

In 1927, a year after he cofounded Crocker Research Laboraties, Philio Fransworth was the first inventor to transmit a television image comprised of 60 horizontal lines!

Despite creating perhaps the most revolutionary piece of technology in his lifetime, Philio Farnsworth didn't want to watch television, and talked about it very negatively. Philio Farnsworth said, "There's nothing on it worthwhile, and we're not going to watch it in this houshold, and I don't want it in your intellectual diet."
