It's pretty interesting learning about how the most important inventions in our world came about. I just don't care for all of the errors, like the implication that Henry Ford invented the automobile, the statement that "millions of people are arrested for drunk driving every year", among others.

jennsickies-162-31951826 June 2022It's a pretty good show. It's just really hard to get past mispronunciations with my ADHD brain. If it were just one guy making the whole show, I might let it slide but when credits roll by, there were more folks who could've said, "Just one thing...," before it was finished.

Bernie444412 December 2023"Inventions that Shook the World" by Steve Herringer is too ambitious a project for a simple 10 program production.
Naturally as with any abridged work and selection, we do not all know what was abridged and quickly notice our favorite inventions are missing. We may also notice some of the facts are misleading or too simplified.
After getting over the shock, the presentation is pretty good at explaining the handful of inventions with pictures, graphs, and re-enactments.
After watching this program, you will have a better perspective on how it all comes together.
Too bad it had to stop with inventions of the last century. -
sleepery14 August 2019Einstein was credited for inventing obsolete type of refrigerator, while Tesla was not mentioned at all. But there are whole stories about the guys who invented parking meter, nicotine patch and taser. These kind of shows encourage cheap capitalist entrepreneurship on expense of real scientific progress!
