Philo Farnsworth Invented TV But Only Appeared On It Once

By the time television became a household appliance, the name of its inventor was sufficiently lost to the public that he could appear on a TeeVee game show in 1957 and not a soul would recognize him.[youtube]

Also interesting to hear he was working on 2K HD Television at the time.

"In television, we're attempting first to make better utilization of the bandwidth, because we think we can eventually get in excess of 2000 lines instead of 525 ... and do it on an even narrower channel ... which will make for a much sharper picture."
