Idaho is so boring someone had to invent television to make it bearable .
White Noise triggered
Yes . I’ve been unfortunate enough to have lived in Idaho for 5 years for work. It’s a dry , boring , Mormon religion controlled hell hole.
Idaho is beautiful.
@@redsoxclover11 Idaho... Are you thinking of Utah?
Lloyd Christmas I’m thinking of both lol
need entire episode, this is just a tease
F*&KING click bait! is what it is!
2:13 *Looks at shoes*
Seems legit.
Makai Klump THEM KICKS ARE *FRESH*
Time traveler
gotta keep them laces fresh af
Makai Klump CONVERSES?!!!!!
They actually existed in the 1920's, not sure if they looked exactly like that, but it has some accuracy lol
The dude created a TV and worked on a farm.
Yet we're to fucking lazy to grab the remote that's 3 ft in front of us. Marvelous.
No fucking shit
+Kevlvin S. SO FUCKING TRUE SO TRUE
Ok
The Wright brothers dropped out of school and were bicycle repairmen and invented airplane. Something engineers with college educations couldn't do.
Dude... good post. Couldn't agree more.
When people, back then, weren't happy with the direction of their lives... they actually did something about it. Instead of pissing & moaning about it, they motivated themselves.
You're never too young to make the largest Impact on the world
Louise Katt OK boomer
Or too old.
TV is a pretty big impact but I think who ever founded the Light bulb has even a bigger impact
Good quote.
Or too old btw
14? That man looks like a 30 year old.
@Needles Iblis
Nope
Belsnickel ok, perv...
walter kersting 😂😂
@Needles Iblis that's what Idaho does to you haha
@@walterkersting1362
How is he or she perv? Saying that someone looks older or younger is not the same as being a pervert.
2:15 everyone wore converses then
yeah they were common back then
It's a timeless shoe
@@MichaelPolios They were around in the 40's
5:08 That was the most half-assed boardflip I've ever seen in my life...
Ken Sama you're the most half assed board flip I've ever seen.
1:13 wow, the bluest eyes i've ever seen..
Tony Ton wow thats blue
Pretty eyes
Tony Ton Mormons usually have very blue and bright eyes. Paul walker was a Mormon.
@@Amooretliban tf? 😂😂😂
@@Amooretliban so that's why he is died right?🤔
Later in his life, he went into a deep depression so he froze himself and went to the year 2950 to work at a robot manufacturing company. He quit his job to start a delivery company to fund his private research. In the year 3000, his distant uncle unfroze and started to work at his company as a delivery boy partnered with an alcoholic robot.
lmao just what i was thinking or a crazy rant from professor farnsworth that his ancestor created the tv
That is Hubert J. Farnsworth, Philo Farnsworth's great-great-great-great-grandson
I smoke weed too
Fry?
What an internet gem💎
Good News Everyone! I've invented a new box with moving pictures!
lol I miss Futurama
yay someone got it!
TheFlerffyBurr cool but I made a circle with moving pictures
Trizzdebos s i made a triangle with mooving pictures m9
Lol, I straight thought of futurama while reading this
just proof that no matter your background, no matter how youve lived before, you can always change your direction and do great things :) this is so inspirational. what a brilliant young man
Buying Magazines is a luxury. A luxury afforded to me at that same age. I had a subscription to "High Fidelity" Magazine. Now I work in Wireless Communications. Not everyone can afford a subscription to a magazine.
Except he never made any money because those with money stole it and since he wasn't wealthy he couldn't stop it from happening.
oh my god Farnsworth like from futurama
Yup! Where did you think that futurama got the name from.
The story of inventor Philo Taylor Farnsworth is a brilliant one.
Gandalf the Great White is real name is Hubert farnsworth.
Gandalf the Great White John Baird invented the tv
Did you watch this episode? They explained that what Baird invented wasn't practical to use. What became the television that we know was what Farnsworth invented.
@@pax41 doesn't change the fact that there were series of earlier reserch and inventions made by other people which helped Fransworth to finally come up with his 'television'. There were dozens of British, Italian, German, French, Polish, Russian, Dutch, Australian inventions/researches helped this young man living in American West to 'invent' the most successful TV of that time.
@@pax41 yet as baird invented the actual process of transmitting images, he is credited as inventing the telivision, all hubert did was make it easier, all he did was take something that existed and find a way to make the bloody yanks rich from it, who knows, if hubert didnt refine it, maybe american tv wouldnt be so shyte
2:14 he is wearing converse
ayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy :D
Time traveller.
Her eyes though! Damn
I know right, I wanst the only one noticing
She’s Mormon they have beautiful eyes. Paul walker was Mormon
@@alexanderrahl482 Lebanese ?
Lebanese mormonism is a religion...same thing as saying all christians have beautiful black hair
2:20 It almost sounded like he was going to say "And his name is John Cena"
Sammy Deol
Lmao we need this meme
MEME IT
Some great professor once said, 'Great knowledge can come from the humblest of origins'
She has the most beautiful blue eyes!
who else had no idea how it worked when they showed how the tv worked
The Gaming Donut me
I was confused by the one in England, not the one Philo described.
I think the things go through a thingy and then through another thingy and somehow make a moving picture out of plow fields.
We are only able to watch this because of him
I didn't expect that the idea of raster scanning came from an agricultural perspective! Sugoi! Daebak! Amazing!
what I find amazing is that he had a science teacher that understood what he was doing. Times have changed.
Trying to understand what you found so amazing about that. I'm not trying to find fault in your comment.... I just don't understand what you meant by that.
Would you mind helping me to understand that?
I am pretty sure it was Yogie Bear who invented the TV, hence the long-running documentary series about his life in Jellystone.
Just so we are clear, john logie beard invented the television. This guy improved it.
They'll be saying they invented the English language next!
@@doubtingthomas736 look it up Yankiedoodle. John Logie Baird invented the tv
@@osphranterrufus You exaggerate. The pony express had none of the technical innovation of John Logi Baird.
Exactly 👏
3:51 aliens told him a secret he pictured this in his mind
Does anyone know the girls name? For my school project of course.
Lucy Lawless
God bless idaho! Proud to live in this beautiful state!
Same
Did you serve a mission
Safe to say he was a genius
Philo was an inventor par excellence. His last invention was a patent for a fusion device
1:13 Imagine looking at a telly and then thinking wow my great grandad invented that
They need to make a movie about him...
He was probably reading QST magazine. It still exist today. People still collect the old ones. They're pretty cool.
Actually, Farnsworth was born in Utah. He grew up in Idaho for the most part, but he was born and died in Utah.
Yuno Gasai that means he was southners
Bored PandaTV Utah and Idaho are both Western, not Southern. I’m a Westerner myself from Arizona.
@@boredpandatv1214 No..
Barrold Trumboma I believe Arizona was a Confederate controlled territory during the civil war
Some of his family still is in Idaho. They own the mortuary in my town
Thank you. Although this is about Farnsworth, it's the only vid on youtube which explains mechanical TV in an easy to understand fashion.
It's incredible how intelligent some people are. I don't even fully understand how television works and I live in 2018.
it seems that inventions are not always created entirely by one person but are works in progress by different contibutors from different countries. Sometimes people have the idea of combining ideas together? It seems a bit suspect to me that a 14yr old farmer could have 'invented TV', and it seems more likeley that each country would laud their own contributors as THE inventor..... some inventors inventions are methodologies to mass produce a thing, or they invent machines that make machines.
I agree there's no point in fighting over it, even now the television is still getting improved upon. Same thing with the computer. the first telephone is a far cry from my iPhone.
its my dream to become an inventor
Farnsworth contributed the most integral parts and the most patents towards the best working version of the television. Therefore, he was officially accredited with it's invention.
@Cryer24597 Baird transmitted the first TV image, but Farnsworth developed the first fully functional all-electronic image pickup device (video camera tube), the image dissector, as well as the first fully functional and complete all-electronic television system. Farnsworth developed the first practical television system complete with receiver and camera...
In window displays at Brigham Young University, I viewed some of the equipment Milo Farnsworth fabricated.
"But how do you manipulate the speed of light to make a picture?" - you do not manipulate the speed of light, it is constant. You manipulate the direction of an electronic beam.
Tv / Radio / Cameras is the Greatest invention of all time.
Jessica Moulton has wonderful eyes. I wonder if they are contacts.
The shape of those whole eyes is amazing regardless of light colored iris.
He"s one of my ancestors on my family tree
Do you know Michael Farnsworth that lives in Longmont, CO? He is Philo's cousin.
@@michaelbeckerman7532 no I'm from California and I know some Farnsworth's out there
i need to see more!!
Teens invented them and now we love them the most
Amazing! I need to read up on this guy!
That girl has the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
Philo Farnsworth grand-daughter has the most AMAZING eyes!!!
Left ALOT OF THE FACTS OUT
Combat engineer traveling out west. Boring.... A radio.. or a video player was fought over. Yes we had video on vinyl. Re rca players. Don't forget it's lonely out there. Video helps a lot. Thank you Philo.
You mean John Biard don't you? He helped two other engineers to get electronic tv going - one German and on American. The German was the first with the electronic version!
So what did Farnsworth actually hold a patent for?
Way to fucking go smithsonian the "mormon" is wearing sneakers 2:14
Converse were used to train soldiers in WW1. A little later on; they became big, EVERYONE wore Converse during that time.
rekt m8
Converse were invented in 1908. So it's very possible he was just part of a new trend. :)
***** Still, whether it was Converse or something invented long before that, the shoes were around in the 1920s.
maybe he was a time traveler, you never know
Blows my mind. And here we are watching TV on a phone
this is prob the most impressive invention in my eyes, change my mind
Ok what happens next... did u guys continue with the story... if so u should mention linknin description
Dude: Give me the remote! Its not your TV!
Jessica: well, technically it's my great grandpa's
Everytime somebody is doing something great somebody always after you
very informative video, I'm a subscriber after watching it. thank you.
He also invented a Farnsworth nuclear fusor
Too bad the TV wasn't called the Farnsworth instead. Would have been a much cooler name.
5:07 Me whenever I play chess.
If he didn’t do this we wouldn’t be on here with a phone or anything
finally an appropriate video for the outro
Oh if only he knew how much destruction his invention would bring.
Amazing!
John logie Baird
2019 and we still don't have FM radio on our devices
Big man was wearing converse 😂. Didn’t know they were in 1921
my name is john. not really i just wanted to represent the people named john.
He didn't make enough for his invention.
I like when it describes the TV signal being transmitted by radio waves, it has a long & short beep beep beep, sound like as if it's Morse code (at ~2:54).
How do you like Plasma tv?
wow! inspiring inventor
Logie-Baird was from Idaho?
I am sorry. John loggy bear?
"Did ye aye?" - John Logie Baird
Rigby Idaho is 7 mins away from my house
2:13 The Shoes. Plot twist, Philo Taylor Farnsworth also invented Chuck Taylor after his name.
According to Edgar Cayce, they had mechanical TVs in Atlantis.
TV was invented in England. First demo in Soho London
by Scottish inventor John Logie Baird, who then marketed the Baird Television and later Baird TV cameras.
@@dcanmore the MECHANICAL version, not the ELECTRONIC version - the one that evolved into every single TV that we now watch today.
John Logie Baird invented the Television.
Did you watch the video? They talk about him.
Yeah them electrons
My mind just blew
Plz upload the whole episode
Er, John Logie Baird?
I've watched TV my entire life. I still couldn't go back in time and "invent" a TV.
Farming means early to bed, early to rise... dawn to dusk work. Television kept farmers up late at night, leading to the demise of family farms that we see today. Farmers were found sleeping in barns and haystacks across America, and many lost their farms to TV.
Tv was invented by John Logie Baird from Argyll, Scotland in 1926. He also made the first coloured tv in 1962.
Ah yes, the stories of my great ancestors. How do I POSSIBLY follow in his footsteps?
Wow that's brilliant
People: Potatoes are the only thing Idaho is famous for.
Farnsworth family: Are we a joke to you?
He died penniless...
I want to see the rest of this
Philos grandaughter sure has the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen.
Unfortunately history is filled with brilliant inventors who were crushed by threatened corporations and corrupt politicians. Frank Whittle is another incredible angst inducing story.
Can you make hour episodes from now on. It would be the best channel on TH-cam.
Tv was invented in the UK
Yes everything was invented in North America and Boris Lvovich Rosing was a American football player!
Nobody tell John logy beard about this lol
Without seeing the full doco, would the jealous rival have been the EMI-Marconi Company, by any chance?
