Inventions That Shook the World
From the airplane, to the electric guitar, to the DNA fingerprint, the twentieth century was the most spectacular era of invention in human history. Fascinating 10-part series ‘Inventions That Shook The World' takes viewers on a decade-by-decade voyage of discovery through the century of innovation that transformed our world; the way we communicate, the way we think, the way we see ourselves. Exploring the origins of great ideas and the brilliant, often quirky minds that brought them to life, each stimulating episode examines one decade of the twentieth century through the prism of the inventions that shaped it. Inventions like the radio that made the world smaller; the machine gun that made it more dangerous; or the parking meter that made it more expensive. And then there were the not-so-great ideas that mercifully failed. Whatever happened to the robo-dog and the air-conditioned business suit? Winners or losers, they were all players in the age of invention, the most innovative century the world has ever known.
