Television

Quotes

 * "Television is a gift of God, and God will hold those who utilize his divine instrument accountable to him." — Philo T. Farnsworth


 * "Television is produced by nature, as witness the so-called mirages which are at times so true and lifelike as to lead experienced desert travelers astray. In the production of this phenomenon nature employs no synchronously-moving scanning devices, no photo-electric cells controlling light-emitting elements or anything of the kind and yet reproduces scenes over distances of hundreds and thousands of miles. It follows, therefore, that the problem of television is not insuperable but one that will be solved by proper attack without introducing the enormous complexities that man is wont to do in his first attempts to simulate natural phenomena. The solution is usually so simple as to be securely hidden." — Arthur C. Lingelbach
