Philo T. Farnsworth died today – 37 years ago

Inventor (think: “electronic TV”) Philo Taylor Farnsworth was born on August 19, 1906 in Beaver, Utah. He said (about television), “There's nothing on it worthwhile, and we're not going to watch it in this household, and I don't want it in your intellectual diet." [So why invent it?]... Mr. Farnsworth died on March 11, 1971 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
