And the Union Flag is my country's flag! Coz being British means that we invented the TV,
But did we?

The credit as to who was the inventor of modern television really comes down to two different people in two different places both working on the same problem at about the same time: Vladimir Kosma Zworykin, a Russian-born American inventor working for Westinghouse, and Philo Taylor Farnsworth, (USA).

“Zworykin had a patent, but Farnsworth had a picture…”

Zworykin is usually credited as being the father of modern television. This was because the patent for the heart of the TV, the electron scanning tube, was first applied for by Zworykin in 1923, under the name of an iconoscope. The iconoscope was an electronic image scanner - essentially a primitive television camera. Farnsworth was the first of the two inventors to successfully demonstrate the transmission of television signals, which he did on September 7, 1927.

Perhaphs you need to put the American flag on your roof ;) .............

Be warned - big cuddly bears still have sharp teeth and claws ;)

Just like a nice pu$$y cat like me, who will not show her teeth and claws unless provoked ;)

DK ;) :apple:
Grr tiger! :D

Now I could make a very smart comeback using the fact that old cuddly bears generally have lost their natural teeth by that time.....but I didnt think Wylie was THAT old! So I wont! :D
















Opps!
