@@stevenpham6734 rolling is obvious. Rotating around an axle is not. People never had a problem getting places with their feet, or even on animals, so there was no problem to solve.

One thing a lot of people miss is that these inventions took a very long time to get adopted. Steamships were really only used intensively from the 1830's, and until 1870 or so they all still had a full set of masts and sails.

You have omitted the two most basic requirements for any Engineer. A straight edge. A flat surface. Without those, making things is very difficult. Looking at how those were first made would produce a very interesting video.
The steam engine was invented in ancient times and there is even stories that steam was used to open doors in a temple, I am not sure about that, but there was some spinning toy like things that used steam, so we just improved on that and made them better and more useful. The same goes for the type-press (printing) that existed in China long before it was introduced in Europe, but that was not the most important invention, just the one we are told about; at the same time we had to invent standardized letters (topography) that made it easier to read, the letters got serifs that also made them clearer and create a visual straight line even the main function was to prevent the wooden letters from getting rounded corners, we still today use that kind of letters, like Times New Roman that followed us from old newspapers up until now. So the printer was impressive, but it was the simplified letters that was the best invention that made it easy to read and write. EDIT: I almost forgot; Thank you for a good video.
If anyone wants to know how bright Humphry's light was. Watch someone weld without eye protection. (Don't actually do that, if you value your eyes don't do that).
The video correctly points out some of the inventions which were established earlier by geniuses, but 'popularized' by later engineers. (Edison light bulb) Personally, I think that counts for something. Henry Ford didn't invent the ICE, nor even the car. But he sure did invent, "The Car" as the concept we see today. Personal transport which transforms your work, play, and worldview.
Actually, there were "ice houses' that used basic cooling principals to freeze water. A yakhchāl is an ancient type of ice house, which also made ice. They are primarily found in the Dasht-e Lut and Dasht-e-Kavir deserts, whose climates range from cold to hot desert regions.

If you want to pinpont 'turning pint' in the Industrial Revolution, it would have to be the invention of precision tools - precision cutting tools in particular, like the first precision lathe. "Invention of machine tools - the first machine tools invented were the screw-cutting lathe, the cylinder boring machine, and the milling machine. Machine tools made the economical manufacture of precision metal parts possible, although it took several decades to develop effective techniques for making interchangeable parts..."

Although it was glossed over I'd say the printing press was the most important invention ever. It enabled the widespread dissemination of knowledge, ideas and art and thus formed the basis of education for 5 or 6 hundred years and thus could be said to be at least a catalyst for all that follows. Lived the Bruce Springsteen reference, war, what is it good for 😂
CRISPR was discovered in 2005 by the spanish scientist Francis Mojica, who has not been co-awarded with the novel price with Charpentier and Doudna. The contributions of them two was great, but wouldn´t be possible without the discovery that Mojica did. I hope that history treats him better than the current trends.
ENIAC was not the first digital computer. Colossus was. But Colossus was so incredibly top secret that after the war they destroyed all of its components and all of the documents related to it… Almost all, that is. And eventually it was (somewhat) declassified, and a few people who had hidden away small components or documents or who worked on the project have come forward and talked about it. So it was long believed that ENIAC was the first, and unfortunately that error has persisted, and only some newer or updated sources have made the correction. 😢
I would like to add that the Romans invented steam engines and water wheels but were not widely spread because of the lack of patents and modern business concepts. Steam engines were used in Rome to pump water up aqueducts whenever the elevation increased. The water wheel was a concept that was tested in Turkey and implemented on a saw mill.
There's no evidence that the wheel came from the potters wheel. Also the Collossus predated the Eniac as a computer. While Savery may have experimented with the steam engine, but Thomas Newcomben really started it by using the steam engine (really an atmospheric engine which was 1% efficient) for pumping water out of coal mines. Watt made it far more efficient by making a separate condenser. Also Watt wanted nothing to do with high pressure steam, but in order to put steam engines on boats or trains or vehicles like the first traction engines - high pressure was needed and that was pioneered by Richard Trevithick. (The steam engine was probably the single most important invention of the last 1000 years, the 2nd was Gutenbergs movable type printing press.)
Great video, great sponsor, I am on day 551 in a row on Brilliant. Bravo. Now I need to go do my brilliant, I am faking some level of understanding on the quantum computing segment😅
The topic here is a subset of the emerging field called “PROGRESS STUDIES” which seeks to understand why progress occurs and how to create more of this. Anyone else aware of this term/field of study?
So much for Vaclav Smil's theory that all important modern inventions occurred during the period 1867-1914 and technological progress since then has been confined to refinement of those inventions and their application. The development of many branches of applied science would never have got off the ground without the deployment of powerful computers, which in turn would have been impossible to construct without the invention of the transistor (1947) and integrated circuits (1958)*. The explosive growth of biotechnology would have been impossible without the invention of the electron microscope (1947), the discovery of the structure of DNA (1953) and the invention of the CRISPR (1987). (* Poweful vacuum-tube computers are logistically impossible because: 1, The failure rate of such a computer system increases exponentially as the number of tubes increases. 2. Effective removal of the waste heat becomes totally impractical 3. Electricity takes a nanosecond to travel through one foot of conductor, so the physical scale of vacuum-tube computers places insurmountable limits on the attainable computing speed).
Great video. However, out of all of the modern inventions, innovations, and engineering feats for practical use, I feel that you left out one of the simplest everyday used items, yet it's design and the engineering involved to make it is far from being simple and that is the invention of the Ball Point Pen!
