Episode 1 of James Burke's most well-known series "Connections" which explores the surprising and unexpected ways that our modern technological world came into existence. Each episode investigates the background of usually one particular modern invention and how it came into being. These explorations are an attempt to locate the "connections" between various historical figures who seemingly had nothing to do with each other in their own times, however once connected, these same figures combined to produce some of the most profound impacts on our modern day world; in a "1+1=3" type of way.
It is this type of investigation that is the main idea behind the Knowledge Web project; whereby sophisticated software is used to attempt to discover these subtle connections automatically. See http://k-web.org.

This is just about my favorite series of all time. Really makes you think about the "butterfly effect".

I always loved this program. You have no idea where even the most obscure scientific discovery will take you. This program ranks close to Carl Sagan's Cosmos in making science accessible to your average person.

This makes an average evening in 1978 seem like science fiction. All it took was not taking life for granted.

An outstanding series. Excellent companion piece to The Ascent of Man. Difficult to believe television of this quality actually existed at one point...
