Slashdot Mirror
75th Anniversary of Television
SpiceWare writes "In the summer of '21, Philo T. Farnsworth was struck by an inspiration after plowing a field. He transmitted the first television image six years later on September 7, 1927."

Could it be a certain professor from a certain brilliant TV show that no longer IS on TV. Hmm, the irony, the irony...
But seriously, TV must be one of the most influencial inventions in ages. It opened up to a whole lot of things, good and bad.
The Yuropeens will be in here claiming that a Yuro invented the tv. They like to revise history to take credit for any and everything, so don't take it personal. It's a kind of socialist history.
Slashdot has become a haven for defensive Yuros over the last couple of years. It's a shame. This place used to be up for some interesting discussions. Now, if it isn't politically correct or Yuro-left leaning, prepare to be modded down.

Saying that Baird invented TV is like saying that Einstein invented the atomic bomb. It's one thing to come up with a principle, or even to demonstrate it in primitive form. It's another thing entirely to come up with a way to use that principle to build a practical device. That's invention.
If it makes you feel better, you could just say that Philo Farnsworth invented the scanning electron picture tube. Without which... and so on.
mechanical scanning wasn't all that could be done at the time. it was all that could be done a Yuropeen without any imagination.
Baird will never be written out of history. there are far too many homo Yuropeens who will see to that. To the rest of the world he is a symbol of the backwardness of the Yuropeen society in the 20th century. Always 2 steps behind the Americans.
This Baird bitch was thinking of mechanical garbage, meanwhile Farnsworth at the age of 15 was explaining the theories of relativity and had already thought about the design of electronic tv.
Hahaha, i love shitting on Yuropeens.
what did i tell you? the Gay Yuropeen brigade on a nother mission to promulgate revisionist Yuropeen history.
God, i hate the fucking Yuros almost as much as GW Bush does.
The Yuros have ruined slashdot, just like they do everything else, the fucking gay faggots that tehy are.

in 1824, two people talked to each other using string and dixie cups.
But no one cared because it was a fucking joke.
Just like no one but gay ass Yuropeens care about Baird, because he was a fucking joke.
Mechanical tv....only a Yuropeen could take pride in somethhing so fucking stupid and gay.
another faggie Yuropeen trying to pull gay ass Baird out their hairy asses.
Baird was an ass clown. So fucking far behind Farnsworth's genius that it isn't even funny. The fact that homo Yuropeens still toss his name around is a testament to their inferiority complex.
A mechanical tv. what a fucking joke.

if it weren't for Americans, gay ass Yuropeens would be cranking their mechanical tvs.
you brown toothed fucks should have stayed in caves. the muslims will put you back there. they already have overtaken Germany and France. The Pakis own London now.

In 1776, we kicked your ass. In 1812, we kicked your ass. In 1940, Germany kicked your ass and we saved your ass. Shut fuck up and die, poncy british (fag)git.
