I am not kidding in the least. I do not have a TV, and haven't had one for decades: I used to have a TV once [for about 2 months], saw the kind of crap which was shown - and immediately got rid of that TV by donating it. May Farnsworth's name remain forgotten, or be held in abhorrence and detestation.
I disagree most strenuously!
Much science came about from his inventions. (That includes his invention of TV)
May I assume you also ride a horse to work every day?
The lifestyle (sans TV) you have chosen is good for young children. The TV is often used as a baby sitter by too many parents, however it makes a wonderful sitter for some of us old farts.
i'm talking about the TV Screen / CRT Monitor you are reading THESE words on... and the technology used in getting them to your TV Screen / CRT Monitor is same-same BROADCAST TV except by wire instead of radio. p.s. i have a TV... but not hooked to anything except my VHS/DVD since 1999.

And may we presume that your computer lacks a monitor?
BTW, Farnsworth himself had almost the same attitude about commercial TV.
You could say the same thing about W.K.L. Dickson and the movie camera couldn't you?
