This is a dose of brilliance thankyou for the video!

It’s unfair to blame the church and symbolise it as the main reason for the making Europe in dark era, while in reality the church and related people to it really makes great advancement, technologies and innovations since it was centre and the peak of knowledge for centuries. I can understand it was later such an obstacle towards advancement but it could be due to other rational reasons.

Technological development, simply put, is the insightful exploitation of the lever, regardless of whether you may be focusing on more basic mechanical or more imaginative expressions.

When i get older i wanna be a part of the technology history , it will take hard work to reach it i know

It’ll be interesting in the future as we discover more missing pieces in the history of humanity, and as ai technologies become more and more powerful, if we get to a point where we can kind of have a “what if” machine. Where you can see what the world would look like now or at a different period based on different changes to history, or even ask what changes would be necessary for certain outcomes. Like the age old question, “what if the library at Alexandria wasn’t burned”

The narrator's english accent is nearly perfect, but her grammar is atrocious. I'm guessing southeast asian?

wow can't believe this a required reading with such broken English and lack of context around the circumstances and impacts of the inventions

The Islamic world was way more antagonistic to technological progress than medieval Europe was

where how the idea of one or a few individuals will become the fact of thousands of others when in fact the latter have nothing to do with it.
a directory of brilliant minds who would be at the origin of the inventions that we know as well as a table of the development of these inventions over centuries or even millennia would perhaps be closer to historical reality.
thus the word "development" will have a more concrete meaning.
otherwise everything will be subject to cognitive distortions like overgeneralization, magnification, minimization and others.

Why does this video not have millions of views?? Great video, most of what I've found was simply click bait.

Ph.d. student in History of science here: I'm sure people can learn some things from this video, but it seems rather dated and unfortunately does not live up to the standards of history today. While it seems mainly correct about the inventions themselves, what is missing is an understanding of the technologies, and of their role in society. I will give a few examples:
1. Listing history in stages of civilization, as if there is a single timeline of modernity going from less to more developed. It was decades ago since historians saw and measured the whole world as if it would all develop the same way as the Western world.
2. Just listing inventions. Social, cultural and economic conditions of innovations is absent. Nothing is said about the societies that created all these technologies, nor about the changes in society that they helped bring about. Why and how were they created? What type of living and thinking made them possible, and the other way around?
3. Spreading the old idea that the Christian church was against science and technology per se. While it is true that the Islamic world was more welcoming of explorations of the natural world (due to the doctrine of God's two books: the holy Quran and Nature), it was never the case that the church was against knowledge or technology as such. The truth is a bit more complex. And absolutely no one believed that the world was flat! That the earth is round has been widely known for thousands of years. The Greeks even made advanced attempts at calculating its circumference.

And forgot the Persian Empire achievements including first oceanic water channel, first postal system, first highway system, first batteries, first large scale empire with taxation system and first cylinder of human rights.

So underrated description of Islamic age, Astrolabe belonged to Muslim civilization, along first mechanical clock, camera obscura, thesis for steam engine and first mechanical robots.

Please take advantage of your G – club options but I need you to change all the information you cannon your exam and end most of the investigations that you have going please and Thank you

How did we make God into technology? It's because we got so desperate for God we made another cool clone of him using the planet literally we put anything together till we made a clone of God that's how technology was made.

I'm shocked how less is the amount of likes this video got

New technology is just old technology combined together
Or else it’s called inventions like invented programming language to code a lot new technology

Thanks very much for the well made video. I learned a lot!!!!

found it all on wikipedia lmao

The history of technology is the history of the invention of tools and techniques and is one of the categories of world history. Technology can refer to methods ranging from as simple as stone tools to the complex genetic engineering and information technology that has emerged since the 1980s. The term technology comes from the Greek word techne, meaning art and craft, and the word logos, meaning word and speech. It was first used to describe applied arts, but it is now used to described advancements and changes which affect the environment around us.[1]

The wheel, invented sometime before the 4th millennium BC, is one of the most ubiquitous and important technologies. This detail of the "Standard of Ur", c. 2500 BC., displays a Sumerian chariot
New knowledge has enabled people to create new things, and conversely, many scientific endeavors are made possible by technologies which assist humans in traveling to places they could not previously reach, and by scientific instruments by which we study nature in more detail than our natural senses allow.

Since much of technology is applied science, technical history is connected to the history of science. Since technology uses resources, technical history is tightly connected to economic history. From those resources, technology produces other resources, including technological artifacts used in everyday life.

Technological change affects, and is affected by, a society's cultural traditions. It is a force for economic growth and a means to develop and project economic, political, military power and wealth.

Copy and pasted it

These hole humans are very intelligent that they know how civilization works

Technologies were first invented by whom and where …

Wonder of the world …

Who is narrator

Good info. Thanks.
Feedback. Some simple charts with timelines would have helped a great deal.

Im still curious of how technology was made, Like how did they make the Computers.

Can’t wait for my grandkids to watch this one day and laugh at 21st century technology

It is a great idea
