Description:
They changed the world and the way we live, propelling mankind into the future.

From DaVinci to Edison, the printing press to the computer, Great Inventions tells the stories of the men and discoveries that have literally made history. We start in the present, where the impact of these inventions is examined. Next, we travel back in time to see how they came about, visiting the workshops, laboratories and garages where they were created. In a whirlwind tour of invention, we'll examine the origins of the steam engine, railroads, the automobile, airplanes, the printing press, electric light, the telegraph, telephone and television, computers and the internet, antibiotics, x-rays and the microscope. We will also look at the one invention without which none of these would have been possible, the seminal discovery in humanity's history.

Join Modern Marvels for a greatest hits tour of human discovery, the fascinating stories of mankind's great inventions.
