Philo Farnsworth

Philo Farnsworth was the genius behind the inventing of the television. People used it for entertainment by watching screens of black and white. Philo was born August the 19th 1906 in Utah in the United States but sadly died in Salt Lake City on March 17th in 1971. But the television was only black and white pictures instead of being bright colour like in our days. But did you know that the television was made in 1927. It looked like a small gadget used for watching entertainment.


Philo Farnsworth was an interesting guy. His parents wanted him to learn the violin but his love and interest was in electricity. At the age of 12 he created an electric powered washing machine and his family was the first ever ones to use it.
