Maybe if you would pay attention, your history class teaches you who invented, why, and how it was used so you can actually learn about it. I doubt you're going to remember the list of everything from this video and their dates

[@LukeHarveyhar]

If anyone is interested, of the 71 items listed the number of things invented/discovered/first used where from: 17 - United Kingdom (13 of which are from England, 4 from Scotland, 0 N. Ireland and Wales) 13 - United States 8 - Germany 6 - Mesopotamia (google it) 5 - Egypt 4 - China 3 - Greece 3 - Italy 3 - The Netherlands 2 - Soviet Union 2 - India 1 - Israel 1 - Poland 1 - Denmark 1 - France 1 - Austria When going though this it was very interesting the phases in which parts of the world made discoveries. At the start it was all China and Mesopotima, then Greece and Egypt followed by India then Western Europe hit hard with the UK dominating at times. At the end it was really just US with a sprinkle of Soviet Union and UK. I already know I have too much free time.

[@rexbryan813]

Yeah I would like asapscience to explain this in a video to those who cannot seem to grasp this concept

[@SammyCee23]

It always surprises me when people say the world is getting worse. It's not. It's getting better than any time in human history. That is NOT saying there isn't any chaos, death, war and violence. Always been that way. But this is the greatest time in human history because the world is now globalized and connected.

[@NostalgiCrazy]

Leon Campa - Thank you!! I am a depressed pessimistic loser and even I can admit that life will only progress. People who think things are "turning bad" must completely forget all history since the beginning of humanity.

toaritok that would be the best thing that could happen to us. It would stop all the fighting for oil worldwide and push us to develop green and renewable sources without any excuse of 'a better alternative'.

Great video guys! I found your channel while procrastinating, and I have to say, I love the stuff you make. However, one thing caught my attention. These are all great and life-changing inventions, but they are all (which of course is not a problem) dated pre the 21th century. Maybe you should do a video on the innovations made/discovered in the 21th century. Cheers, Eric

I can't believe it, someone actually using CE instead of AD.. Anyways great video, it was a fun watch ^^

[@rebeccawhite5601]

dragonfand what do they stand for? I'm confused, sorry if I seem stupid. How I understood it was BC is before christ, and AD is after death. Idk please help

[@dragofand]

Rebecca White AD stands specifically for Anno Domini for In the Year of the lord. CE stands for Common Era, they both convey the same meaning, dividing time but many people prefer to use CE (and BCE for Before Common Era) instead of BC and AD due to the Christian connotation behind it. Of course there are other reasons people prefer to use CE and BCE but the reason stated above is a big one as far as I know.

[@rebeccawhite5601]

dragonfand Thank you!

[@MikhaelAhava]

Anyways, both mean the same.

[@zeroforconduct8008]

Is just some stuff society does to be appreciate "diversity" since not everyone is Christian. Same reason some business say "Holidays" instead of "Christmas."

[@DykeZuki]

Usually items of death and destruction would not be considered as Great Inventions. By chance are you a Trump Supporter?

[@Toefoo100]

@DykeZuki without nukes we might not have had the most peaceful era known to mankind yet. Through mutually assured destruction, all out ground war has been prevented. Also without the need to build a nuclear bomb we might have never developed the cleanest and most powerful form of energy. And if you want to pick a candidate that supports death and destruction you should vote hillary

[@DykeZuki]

Toefoo100 What Peace? We've pretty much been at war ever since I've been alive. And by clean energy, do you mean the clean energy of Chernobyl? Or The Fukishima(sp.)

The nuclear bombing of japan was to end the war sooner and with far fewer civilian and military casualties than a full-on invasion of the mainland. A terrorist attack on civilians is a guerrilla tactic meant to prolong a conflict until the opposing side decides that it is too much trouble to continue and concedes. One ended a war in 6 days, the other drags on a conflict that has lasted for almost 30 years.

I'd love a video that talks about ancient technologies that have been since reinvented such as the Bagdad Battery and more interestingly the Antikythera Mechanism since it had gears within it that wouldn't be invented until more recent history! It gets my blood pumping to think of what other possible devices have been lost to the ages! Please cover something like this as I'm sure I'm not alone in my fascination for lost tech and knowledge that has since been rediscovered or reinvented!

Religion is great, amirite?? Contributed to so much not suffering and not slowing down human developement

[@rzeczpospolita5948]

ProGangstaShit I love the sarcasm there

[@technoserf_digital]

Religion didn't slow down human development. Religion is a basic component of human behavior, if humans didnt have religion they wouldnt be the creatures they are and they wouldnt have done any of what they have done. I am an atheist, but for billions, religion provides a channel for spirituality, community, charity, education. The churches of East Germany, Poland, and Ukraine were instrumental in overthrowing their communist dictatorships. Religion has done much to damage the world, but it is an inherent part of humanity's story. Without religion, billions of humans wouldn't have the tools they need for us all to survive and prosper. The answer isn't to abolish religion, but to improve it. To study the elements of human religion and why humans practice them. When you break down what makes a religion attractive- what it's giving people that they need, you can more effectively tune that religion to be as productive as possible, and to minimize extremism and intolerance as much as possible. Those things will NEVER, EVER be eliminated, as they are innate to civilization itself, but they can be reduced.

Religion has been good for humanity in some aspects

[@hadiaoun8726]

for over a 1000 the christian church had the mono-pole of education and chose how much the average person should learn. they killed people for advancing theories that went against their definition of the world. they really stopped any experimenting and learning process to happen by making the people dumb so they could sell them places in heaven and earn money. tell me again how great religious impact was

What about The Internet

[@PikminGod]

MAC fearsNONE exactly!

[@shaneffrench]

MAC fearsNONE he said the Internet...

[@atklm1]

Technically, internet is not an invention, it is something that emerged. Basically, it's individual public servers, where you can receive and send bytes with computer via ISP, not too different from telephone system. If there was only one server, there would be only one web page in existence. The illusion of the "web" becomes from graphic user interfaces and web search engines (analogue to phone book).

[@chantalchar]

Rex sooo... internet wasn't an invention?

Great video! Although one thing which stuck out to me was satellite communications, that really began to become a thing in the late 50's and the 60's, not the 40's.

[@nataliess]

And in 2017 we have a great invention to satisfy all your fidgety needs, I present you the fidget spinner. What are we doing with our lives 🙄

[@CoastConcepts]

the only thing that bugs me is that the inventions weren't shown chronologically

You forgot Apple removing the headphone jack.

The fact that most of these were discovered in the last 200 years is amazing

If trump does become president, he would rewrite history claiming that he invented everything and give himself an emmy as well.

there have been boats around much longer than 5,000 BCE. People were inhabiting Australia 50,000 years ago (which would have required boats even with lower ocean levels).

Does anyone else find it amazing that we spent 190,000 years as hunter gatherers, doing the same thing and not progressing at all. Then one day some dude decides to start a farm and ten thousand years later we have smart phones and satellites. Damn, it must have been quite a farm.

Did they not have the light bulb on there? That's a pretty important innovation. Maybe they did and I somehow missed it.

[@manfredvoncoolstuff6071]

they did, I am glad that they didn't say Edison invented it though :D because he didn't, he figured out a way to SELL it.

[@kuyaleinad4195]

Pieguy55 Who invented it then? Here in the UK, they say a British guy invented the lightbulb. Edison only added the corkscrew I think :/

[@Yunghorsecock]

Kuya Dan yeah, Edison only reinvented it making it a household lightbulb.

[@revan6614]

So what? Edison made the lightbulb efficient and made it accessible to everyone. You wouldn't have lights right now if it weren't for him. I don't know why people hate on him so much for making money from his inventions. Business is built on competition which is the main driving force for innovation. Without it, we would just have scientific discoveries that no one can actually use.

"This video is sponsored by Bill Gates." Well that's something you don't hear every day.

[@lautaseutti]

In Finland, there are huge cuts in the country's budget towards education. It was promised by several politicians that NO cuts would be made. The ones that promised won, thats what we got by supporting the ones that would agree on keeping education solid.
