- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2016
- In this episode of Hello World, Bloomberg’s Ashlee Vance heads to England to find out how the country is fighting to inject new life into its technology industry. The trip starts out in Bletchley Park. From there, it’s off to Cambridge, the heart of England’s technology scene. Vance hangs out with learned cows and artificial intelligence whizzes, bikes past Newton’s famed apple tree (at least a reasonable replica of it), and goes punting with the inventor of the Raspberry Pi computer. From Cambridge, it’s off to the Cotswolds and the headquarters of Dyson to see its latest creations. And then on to London to check out some startups and whine about Brexit while drinking the world’s most exotic cocktails at the Langham Hotel.
----------
Hello World is a Webby and Emmy-nominated video series from Bloomberg that invites the viewer to come on a journey across the globe to find the inventors, scientists and technologists shaping our future.

England - where being successful is rude. Most true words I have ever heard
@mark heyne old money is ill gotten
@SNP Alba forever Great Britain refers to England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom refers to the union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
@SNP Alba forever carm down ,you sound like that nutty commie tyrant minister you've got 'sturgeon
Not at all. You should see Scandinavia and jenteloven
How 👿rude?
Filmed before ARM was bought by a Japanese firm and Dyson moved to Singapore.
Dyson moved manufacturing to Singapore longer than 2 years ago.
Don't worry. you may be more shortsighted than you think.
@@stevenm8970 I know, but they've only just moved the rest of the company.
Since ARM was essentially Britain's technological future, why did the British government just let it be sold abroad?
That is the RESULT of Politicians Padding their bank accounts,,, Precisely why it was so Important to get a businessman to run.. Next Problem???
he needs to practice his connect 4, what on earth was that!
In 9th grade people got so mad at me for taking what felt like a whole minute before I did each move. But I was seeing every path they could make, and I was seeing what I could do next if they dropped their piece in each of the different columns, and I've never lost a game of Connect-4 ever since. (Before anyone says it, I'll make the joke: YoU alwaYs wiN bEcaUse tHey goT boReD of waItinG.)
Missed UK with their ale, cottage pie, cogney accent, AISB, OU, Brockwood Park, nice people and many more. Thank you for your Hello World videos helping us study and learn keeping up what's on.
9:36 He's doing punting, similar to an Italian activity on narrow water. I can see stuff like this at a local resort in my current hometown! The resort is even the tallest building in the state where I live!
as an oxford student this was rather upsetting
The way Britain mixed Tech with Art is what makes it special.
Its not just a fever of production and consumption.
"Dyson has perfected suck ... and now its on to blow" - awesome!
wonderful story and production quality. Thanks!
This idea (raspberry pie)is probably the greatest I’ve ever heard. Imagine where we would be at here in America if kids learned this stuff in grade school.
Bletcheley Park is a great place! I've been to Wiltshire several times, to Malmesbury and Devizes.
Thanks Ashlee for the videos. Great insight into technology around the world.
hahahaha nice joke. This total waster cant even avoid swearing on camera. What an irritating OAP! (Odd amateur presenter!)
Really well done and entertaining. Thanks
2:43 outrageous, I was just on my way to put the kettle on when he said that, x-D
They are putting together basic computer plugs? Other than the kids colors what did they build??
Last picture was a robot evading something I think. Cool videos keep them coming guy. Thank You😗😜
You always go above and beyond on your videos. Well done!
Punting was the worst for me, wasn’t there 1 July 2018. This bring back memories
I bought an Amstrad PC in 1987 at Costco. Ran MS DOS 3.1. 16 color monitor.
First ARM major customer: Acorn (Archimedes)...
Also: Why no mention of Dave Jaggar? (Thumb instruction set, streamlining/productizing the architecture and S/W tools)
awesome tech and startup scene in London now. especially financial tech. sadly arm is acquired by Japan SoftBank now. i hope UK keeps innovating after brexit
These are the best documentaries!
what is the song that starts playing at 2:02?
Re: Dyson Hoovers (I having 30years of experience with all sorts of Hoovers/vacume cleaners found the Dyson to be the WORST Hoover with regards to Human ergonics making you twist your spine using them they are both heavy & awkward to use (But they look nice & colourful!) the best are very small & able to wear on your back so your arms only have to use their force on the actual tube & hoover head.
Hoover was just another Brand of Vacuum Cleaner. Which Dyson model are you talking about ?
Dyson doesn't make Hoovers, Hoover is another company which copied Dyson technology, were sued for millions and had to destroy all the thousands of Hoovers the made. You need to get your brain corrected claiming they are heavy.
i love this show! i hope it never ends!
never until end
Wow Bloomberg, you have a winner with Mr Vance
15:30 this Microsoft employee is playing Minecraft version 1.8 with 4 Minecraft forge mods. I'm soooo jealous!
i love the reporter. He makes me enjoy doing my uni work
11:00 what is that music called
Great program
Thanks for this great educational, informational and even inspirational video.
Great job to all involved.
Oh, "inspirational?" Is it inspirational that AI would ultimately replace middle class Brits? Think of it, who would primarily benefit from this new gadgetry? The corporations who will undoubtedly replace their workers, to whose ranks you and I belong! Who do you think the corporations of this world would replace in favor of AI?
Do you think their Board of Governors are first to be replaced or is it more likely that their custodial workers are first to lose their jobs? Don't be so eager to celebrate these newly found "discoveries!"
Things that should make all of us say: Hmm!
@@homayounshirazi9550 Yes it could go that way but it could also go the way that the improvements in automated industries means that we the consumer pay less than what we used to pay and overall a world where less human labour is required is a world that we live in.
The masses will riot and revolt if the corporations get to greedy and it turns into david and goliath our society will naturally put them back in check or so I need to hope so otherwise yes our future reality is a very grim grim one indeed.
i like hello world section thanks for sharing
Great video. Thanks
Great show
I like Ashlee... he's the realest dude to do this kind of work.
Incredible, not a mention of the Spectrum ZX or Sir Clive Sinclair.
Thank you very much Ashlee Vance and team Bloomberg.
What are you thanking him for? That AI is ready to take over the low wage workers' jobs? Who do you think would lose his job first in a corporation? Would it be the CEO of a corporation or the janitor of that corporation?!
Hello world videos are amazing
I like them alot too :)
let say nice
why don't you do a piece on mammonet leveling tower of pisa. it seems right down their alley
Mistake noted - the beer isn't warm as its cellar temperature, ie- 11 deg Celcius.
i wish this kind of video had more support, you are doing an amazing job!!
Did you say: "amazing?"
Now, that's amazing to hear! Are you amazed that AI would inevitably replace low wage workers of the world? Laying people off is sad; it isn't amazing.
@@homayounshirazi9550 now that it's actually coming out as usable technology, what's your opinion now?
23:32 "So that's about 1,800 RPM" at first I thought he said 18,000 RPM and I was floored. XD
No he said 1,800 RPS not RPM minute sounds very different from second.
He said either 150,000 RPM. or 115,000 either way his math is wrong on the rps 1,800 x 60 = 108,000.
where's Deep Mind?!
not in Cambridge I guess:)
Amstrad was British?
Sinclair was British?
I got 2 and I'm an Aussie.
Sinclair Spectrum, Amstrad.
fuckfannyfiddlefart isn’t commodore too? And bbc. We had more than Americans at the beginning.
@@SimonLeeds Commodore was a yank company. BBC Micro (obviously) was English.
Technology renaissance: welcome to next gen... hair dryer?
24:00 just as I thought of an electric car with partnership from Dyson.
and now they stooped
Ashlee, please include Perpetuus Advanced Materials in Newport, Wales for your next visit on world changing technology in UK!
Actually britan impresses me. During university i realised that there is so so much scientific output from UK. Im from the pharmaceutical/biomedical sector and i was really suprised how much research in these fields is done and comes from the UK. Its often not really visible to the public eye. but the UK is a huge player in science, covering most fields
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
It's not really crazy that less people are applying to study computer science. Nowadays it's quite easy to learn most of computing at home and online from MOOCs so unless you are interested in a regulated profession like Medicine most things can be learnt at home this days.
Awesome Documentary, I found this one really interesting.
Charles Babbage computer was badass to construct
Don't worry kids.
Colossus will be your internet after Brexit.
Il be buying a kano for my daughter, thanks great video
11:56 yes Statham, ikr 😂
Hobbs Shaw‘s techie cousin
Persecuting Allen Turing had a lot to do with Britain not having a computer industry.
Keeping quantum computing simple: I've got a quantum computer that tells about the weather☀️ since I was a kid.
When the wind blows, the fan spins and colors change. So, that tells that it's a windy day.
Sinclair, amstrad , acorn , arm , raspberry pi
Bloomberg: Never heard of them.
Another mistake - re the colossus war computer, the blueprints were kept an a new version was built in secret.
Agreed. Have lived through both cultures. Originally a "Colony". Taking awhile :) In the meantime Pi. - Granddad/No OnE SpEcIaL. Just glad to have shared. :)
20:16 Dyson. 4 years and $71 Mn to bring supersonic hairdryer to life.
Warm beer? Raspberry jam? I think you meant cold beer and raspberry pi
Loved it
BAE is among the most advanced company's in the World!
lol for killing innocents. Sick!
and now French
@@Cr-gf3gn context?? What do you mean?
@@Cr-gf3gn It's British owned not French
WRONG! The first electronic, programmable computer was the Atanasoff-Berry Computer.
The company that gave children invitation to do a hands-on activity with a computer is spelled like a Nigerian city but pronounced differently.
I'm not sure it's in a Muslim state?
My parents are from the Christian side of Nigeria.
If, with a few decades of technological development, humanity has managed to explore the smallest and greatest things in nature, I believe that in a couple of centuries we will be able to personally go to the closest stars and perform engineering and technology prodigies.
sinclair (electronics)
AMSTRAD (elecctronics)
acorn (microcomputers)
ARM (the R.I.S.C systhem)
wright bros. bicycles (the aeroplane)
charles babbage (the analytical engine)
Sinclair Research now only employs 1 person. Acorn is defunct. ARM is Japanese owned. I couldn't find a UK Wright Bros. Bicycle company. Amstrad is doing well though and Charles Babbage was indeed British.
Wright Bros is a US company. And nothing else you listed is pervious and entirely "FROM U.K. " . idiot.
@@TanTan-ni4mg amstrad is entirely british, sinclair is a british inventor(invented the pocket calculator), alan turing invented the general purpose computer, ada lovelace invented computational mathematics and is british.
Missing out on the biggies, eh? John Logie Baird for TV, Alexander Graham Bell for the telephone, Robert Watson Watt for RADAR (and the magnetron that powers it), and that's just from Scotland alone...
Yes
the uk had the first commercial nuclear power station built in 1956
CAN DYSONS TURBINE BE RECONFIGURED AS A DYNAMO?
Thanks! about to buy myself a kano!
... you mean Canoe?
I wish they could defeat leukemia as well as predicting my favorite Bill Murray movie.
Even better to scare off burglars than turning on lights: the sound of a gun cocking or its slide pulled and released.
Wov. He said something about interviewing a baby about future of AI and baby bursts to tears.
Yes Dyson is, as we speak, developing a wheeled hair dryer.
26:38 Wtf XD I kind of wish I could be a kid again.
He’s running Ai on Pi(connect four)?
Going to the pub was about the most interesting part.
19:40 you arrived at the height of brexit mania? you sure about that? :D 2019 and still going strong! :D
Arm was sold to a firm in Japan and is now selling 25% of arm to a Saudi fund..
I like these videos but what are those Nazi troops being saluted by Stalin at 1:32
Kingdom's Tech Renaissance with made in USA boards ?
England!!!!!! Remind me to refer to the USA as California.
Or 'America'
I can’t wait to visit the Dallas in California
California is a shitty 3rd world state that also happens to house the most millionaires/ billionaires.
Yeah but a lot of scots seem to not like us and usually only refer to themselves as scottish and not british. It's only the welsh and the northern irish who like us
You have a nice hair Mr. Concept Director. Then... they showed Mr. Matt Childe -...
My name is Chris and I’ve never seen so many Chris’ in one place or video.
Well, to be fair high school had a few hundred of them.
Hello World is amazing. The presenter has a great journalist style, that reminds me of the great Anthony Bourdain.
Keep up the interesting videos. Bravo!
What about the MRI? Invented in little old Nottingham!
The Brits persecuted Turing as well.
We did, obviously today we think that is absolutely awful, we've all moved on a lot since those days.
@@philosuileabhain861 pffff, posthumous....
That Minecraft menu at 15:31
Bloomberg: I doubt many of you can name a single tech product or startup from this country.
ARM: come on, Bloomberg!
Well, outside of electrical engineers and computer scientists, who knows ARM is from the UK ? Would that even be anyone's first guess ?
@@TheNefastor plus ARM was bought by Japanese Softbank
@@reagancapwell685 ooh snap ! 😎
'Wizards and Warriors', 1987, NES: England
"It's now the 3d best selling computer in the world, behind the mac and the pc." Wrong.... there is one form factor of computer (type) that outsells all other types/form factors. It's handheld and (many would argue improperly) called "the smartphone," and yes, this was true in 2016. In fact it's been true for much longer.
That breaking window AI is soooo Overkill! To solve a simple issue, Standard burglar alarms cover most! Baby Monitors cover the baby crying!
I had to stop when they served warm beer.
Connect 4 is the type of algorithm that shouldn't be classified as AI, it's a state based game that falls into the category of 'solved game', any non-intelegent computer can simulate the flow of the game selecting optimal moves, all based of a simulation and algorithm, no actual thought or decision making, just following user inputted procedure...
this guys voice is the reason i watch
16:36 *more secure
Connect 4/Checkers, Go! :)
