In 1948, a boy stared at a TV screen for the very first time.
Curious, I looked up the inventor of the electronic television and learned that it was an American named Philo Farnsworth.
Interestingly, he was completely disappointed by his own invention because he had hoped it would be exclusively used for education rather than entertainment. However, he changed his mind when he watched Neil Armstrong walk on the moon on the very device he had invented, confiding in his wife that "this has made it all worthwhile."
Ironically, his only televised appearance was on a game show called "I've Got A Secret" in 1957. When asked about what he was currently working on, Farnsworth discussed the potential to one day create a display-only (flat-screen) type of television. He also talked about increasing bandwidth, improving cameras, creating memory files, and harnessing the power of nuclear fusion.
All very impressive for a man who grew up in a small log cabin built by his father in Beaver, Utah.
A breathtaking Roman mosaic glass bowl made of fused canes of brilliant blue and opaque white glass, stretched and draped over a mould to form a ribbed bowl. Likely crafted by expert glass artisans in Italy in the first century AD, the bowl travelled all the way to Britannia soon after the Roman invasion – later to be unearthed in the village of Chinnor, near Oxford, in 1923.
