How far society has advanced (or declined) thanks to the development of TV.There's a clip I saw of Farnsworth on the old Gary Moore, "I've Got A Secret" program. The blindfolded panel trying to figure who the mystery guest (Farnsworth) was, asked if he was a psychologist. The low-keyed Farnsworth smiled, said he wasn't,, but that you might need one if you saw his invention. This was in 1955.
I may have a copy of that clip here. I wonder if it could be played on the screens? ...in between the ball games! ...not! What am I thinking :-)
Here's a link to said clip, courtesy of BoingBoing:
