not to forget...the gobal impact of the discovery of fertilizers by Justus Liebig and artificial fertilizers by Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch without this three guys the world would strave without enough food there are many more I would rank higher than teabag and ear protection plugs

One of the most important ones is overlooked, because it is not something you can touch: *the INDUSTRIAL NORM!* There is a place in Berlin, where you can see the origin of it and the three people who basically created it / developed the concept: the SCHINKELPLATZ has statues to Karl-Friedrich Schinkel (architect), Wilhelm Beuth (prussian bureaucrat) and Albrecht Thaer (agricultural scientist). - Schinkel was tasked with building the "Friedrichwerdersche Kirche", which is a large church with a visible brick architecture ... for which he needed so many bricks that one manufacturer was not enough. Since different manufacturers produce differently sized bricks ... they "forced" them to make them in one size. [That church is very beautiful and well worth a visit.] - Thaer was researching the need / CORRECT AMOUNT of fertiliser to maximise agriculture ... because this can save a lot of cost/maximise efficiency. - Beuth was the bureaucrat that wrote the stuff ... and all the DIN norms today are published in the "Beuth Verlag".

I once had to hold a presentation on the Friedrichwerdersche Kirche. But I don’t remember that detail. So I probably didn’t know then. Would have been important 😅 @Muck006

I think one of the most affecting in the whole world is the Diesel Engine invented by Rudolf Diesel.

@timhelmerhorst. There are reports of English sailors having "spy glasses" before the Dutch publicly invented a telescope, but that they were apparently secret for military purposes. There are modern examples of UK keeping technology secret for national security reasons, so I leave it to you to decide if this was a similar historical case.

Well the Norwegians, too: Binders, cheese slicer, ski loipe/track, slalom...

@@alansmithee8831 Yes... However, there is strong evidence that the Phoenicians probably discovered a sea route to South America more than 2,500 years ago. Of course, as we all know, they were the best sailors of their time. And as we also know, nautical charts were often treated as a state secret until the end of the 18th century. It is therefore hardly surprising that no records exist about it. But cocaine was found in Egyptian mummies in the 80s. To do this you need to know 2 things. The Egyptians were the party people of their time and enjoyed everything that was really bang. And secondly... They were rich as hell. This was of course a profitable business for the Phoenicians, and they definitely wanted to keep it for themselves. And such secrets were often only passed down orally. There's something else... When the Carthaginians (who were originally a Phoenician colony) were wiped out by the Romans, the Romans' will to destroy, knew no limits. They wanted to completely wipe out the entire culture, which they largely succeeded in doing. But it appears that some ships carrying refugees have escaped to South America. Long-term allies of the Carthaginians, from the Balearic Islands. For example, weapons of Celtic origin were discovered, which are still used today in the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean for sporting purposes and were never used by anyone else in South America. There is also a unique fortress construction method that is only known from the Celts. This also has no parallels in South America. Genetic studies are still being worked on...

Like most Americans has the memory of a goldfish.

I know I used to think a similar channel, which set out to "learn" each time, seemed to need to relearn the same stuff again and again to allow for more video content. A chap called Hilbert, who does history videos, did a video mocking the worst kind of reaction channels.

In fact electronic television was first successfully demonstrated in San Francisco on Sept. 7, 1927. The system was designed by American Philo Taylor Farnsworth, who had been working on it since 1920.

@@79BlackRoseactually it was Baird (a scotsman) who used a German invention (Nipkow disc) for the first successful transmission of moving pictures. In 1925 or 1926

@@79BlackRose It based on the patent from Paul Nipow wich was registrated in 1884. Farnsworth´s first demonstrator was shown in 1934, but in 1934 had Manfred von Ardenne still a TV Station (In honour named as TV Paul Nipkow) and broadcastet in Berlin. The TV tower was hit by a fire in 1935, but was quickly repaired for the 1936 Olympics.

@@79BlackRose Btw, the mobil telefon was also invented in Germany. The German railway offered already in 1925 a telephone servive in the trains for their 1st class passenger. Next to the tracks have been masts who transferred the phone calls into a cable telephone network.

@fabianstriebeck. The British got tea from having a Portuguese queen. Portuguese sailors had gone to India, where the British followed, for the same trade goods. A later German king of UK had lands in North Germany, so the adoption of tea on a wider scale was in the same period. Enjoy your cuppa pal and thanks for the teabags. A good swap for Heligoland I reckon.

And many more... ;-.)

Good , but I think in Norway and America have we higher standarts. In Norway we have something called 'Vipps'- if you buy something from a private person, a bike , you can pay without cash, but it is fast as cash.😀

My only problem with cashless is that you don't really give anything away, so many could think it's "free" and spend more. I personally only take a little more than what I think I need, so I don't spend more than I want to, but that's just me. @biankakoettlitz6979 ​

What are you talking about? The first music-playing device able to both record and play back music was the phonograph. Created by American inventor Thomas Edison in July 1877.

I am sorry Mr. Hubbard, that I was not correct in my counting ,let´s say 85 years. And I´m sure all people worldwide enjoyed listening to the music played by a phonograph in their homes. Perhaps you did not get what I was on about, I didn´t intend to write a scientific treatite. @@79BlackRose

@tx0h. I used to go to Hastings for work. It had a sign "Home of television" since the inventor lived in the area. John Logie Baird FRSE was a Scottish inventor, electrical engineer, and innovator who demonstrated the world's first live working television system on 26 January 1926. He went on to invent the first publicly demonstrated colour television system and the first viable purely electronic colour television picture tube

@@alansmithee8831 baird developed the nipkow disc what was inventioned by the german inventor paul nipkow who wasn't be able to finish it in his time.. it was not his inventioned by his own.. he tried it in the mechanical way.. at least the electric won the competition in the years by the invention with the braunsche röhre..

The computer is a great example of many inventors working on the same thing, often improving on previous inventor's designs. Babbage and Touring getting most of the limelight but Zuse created the first working, programmable Computer and he deserves a big spot too. Other examples are Phillip Reis and Graham Bell for the telephone.

I don't think inventing junk food is something to be proud of.

It wasn't junk food until the americans started to put junk on it! ;)

As long as " Made in Germany" is not seen as a " punishment" imposed by my British cousins a long time ago but a sign of quality I am fine with "selling our imagine" ! And it doesn't change the fact that we like " to engineer ". 😁

The fact that Gutenberg invented printingg printing is an inaccurate formulation. The Chinese had invented printing long before that. What is correct is that Gutenberg invented printing with movable types. And that is what made letterpress printing so revolutionary in Europe. This is because Chinese letterpress printing had fixed printing pages that had to be replaced again and again when they were worn out, whereas movable type lasted longer due to the material and required less effort to replace.
