Not only did he play a pivotal part in the invention of television (and we can't blame him for the current state of television "entertainment"), but he also has one of the all-time coolest names. Philo T. Farnsworth? Best. Name. EVAR! What a great man.

Farnsworth was not much of a business man and at the time that seemed like a lot of money. RCA bought the exclusive rights for the image disector for $2500.

Yeah people will point to others as having invented television, especially Baird, but these two created the system we know as television. If not for Farnsworth's Image Disector tube and Zworykin's Kinescope tube television would have never progressed past a curiosity.
