In which John Green teaches you about railroads and some of the ways they changed the world, and how they were a sort of microcosm for the Industrial Revolution as a whole. Prior to the invention of steam-powered railroads, pretty much all locomotion had been muscle-powered. You either walked where you wanted to go or rode on an animal to get where you were going. The railroad changed human perception of time and space, making long-distance travel much faster and easier. Railroads also changed habits, including increasing reading. People needed some sort of distraction to ensure they didn't have to talk to other people on the train. Like any new technology, railroads also scared people. All kinds of fears surrounded rail travel, but over time, people got over them. And the quality of boiler manufacturing improved, so the trains exploded less often, which also made people feel safer.

London, Paris, Kiev, Montreal, Chicago, Rio, Tunis, Hong Kong ... Aahh, it would be so awesome! You could even maybe get a cameo from a local historian into each episode. Everywhere has a willing and passionate local historian. I'd watch the crap out of that! Thanks for not forgetting to be awesome all the time!

This reminds me of talking to my Grandmother about early automobile journeys. Something I hadn't realized was that there were no street signs, and no real good maps available. Like, driving to California from Missouri you just, "Drove West". You'd talk to people, and find out which way to head. You'd camp alongside the road in a tent, or just on blankets under the stars. I'm talking like 1925 driving around the country, when a lot of it was just country.... Things do indeed change, it's interesting how much of the odd little bits seem to get left out of the narrative when examining history.

There is one other really important aspect of railroads they forgot to mention: railroads had a massive impact on corporate finance. Because building railroad infrastructure was so expensive, trading in financial markets became much more common and important. The rise of the railroad is very much connected to the increased importance of the stock exchange in both the US and the UK.

Forgive me for coming in late, but I just discovered this series. Mr. Green you left out a vital component of the industrial revolution: commerce. Invention that helps a person or a group of people is often an oddity or a fad. An invention that improves a business or a business endeavor, becomes the revolution you are talking about. Trains didn't become big because it carried people from place to place, but rather goods. Cattle, cotton, rum or corn when you could transport those without losing so much to spoilage and or to New York or Philly for the same price. That transformed how we did things more than people reading vs talking to each other.

It seems for every age, there will be some group of people who fear new technology, making some kind of pseudo-scientific excuse to justify their fear. During the early days of the railways, there were people who said any movement over 10 miles an hour would crush the human body. Nowerdays, people make excuses for their paranoia over GMO crops. Not exactly the same, but similar mentality.

Well, about GMO, there is an issue though it can be contained. GMO plants usually have better traits then their natural cousins meaning that if GMO plants arn't contianed within special farms but are allowed to thrive free in nature they will out perform the non GMO plants meaning that GMO plants will spread at the expense of natural plants... other then that I see no issue with GMO, other then the super seed products which basically are meant to exploit poor farmers in third world countries... GMO is basically humans out manouvering evolution, and saying mother nature, we'll take it from here...

There is a solution! Genetically engineer wild plants, allowing them to keep up with our crops! (I didn't say you'd like the solution) Still, I think people often reject GMOs based on fear of new things, and then think of reasons. Genes for increased nutrition or herbicide resistance will not harm natural ecosystems, as we don't tend to regularly spray forests with Roundup, and high levels of vitamin A are not very useful to a weed. It's important to remember that most genetic engineering is just moving genes from species to species, and so the risks are similar to introducing new species. Which, admittedly, can end badly. Basically, we shouldn't ban GM. We should consider the risks and benefits of each new modification, and then sensibly regulate to minimize the risks of that modification.

I am glad you mentioned The Railway Journey because it blew my mind when I read it a few years back. Somehow I never thought about what it would be like to have timetables but no standard time before, for example. Or that we tend to understand distance as "how long would it take me to get there" and not "this is x kilometres away".

If you read people from the 1910 up to 1950 you will see a dramatical change in the perception of the future. The year 2000 many believed we would live in one huge Utopia.

You can get it, at a much faster pace than before, and international competition helps to reduce costs. Modern flight allows it to be sent anywhere at any time. Long story short, there have always been problems and there will always be problems. But if we keep improving ourselves, we CAN turn out better off than our parents.

With the same logic we can argue that nuclear power is the safest form of power (least deaths per produced TWH): nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/lifetime-deaths-per-twh-from-energy.html Yet people freak out, the hysteria in german-speaking part of europe is really insane.

Erik Žiak what i find funny about the german government is that they close all the nuclear powerplants and replace them with coal and other fossile fuels.... like really!?

***** I on the other way find it stupid, not funny. While I agree that going 100% renewable is a noble goal worthy of striving for, I doubt that closing nuclear in favor for fossil fuels is the correct way to get there. I would close nuclear power after we close all fossil fueled power plants that are used to cover the base load of the transmission network. And that will not be in my lifetime...

Nuclear has quite a few downsides to it. And if we began to rely on it, we'd run out of Uranium very quickly. Which I didn't know until recently.

I should know...i travelled on an airplane for the first time when I was 18 (i'm 21 now). I felt more like a booster than being fearful. Maybe my next generation would embrace new technology as well. But definitely I agree on the point, change not equal to progress!

Fwendly Mushwoom Yes, but discussing the effects of the railroads in a very small portion of the world, over a very small portion of time isn't really what the series is about. Instead, he discusses broader themes, like disease, climate change, or as BiggestATLAfan has said, population.
