Hi everyone! This is the seventh video in our Moments of Vision series. Each is a short video about the moments of inspiration that led to inventions we use all the time. How was the bra invented? Video #1: ow.ly/WzsX306RM9a What about a quick cup of coffee? Video #2: ow.ly/z13M306RMBe And Band-Aids? Video #3: ow.ly/snt1306RMGX Rubber gloves? Video #4: ow.ly/UOQs306RMPy Where did sandwiches come from? Video #5: ow.ly/dhzq306RMYo Smudge-proof lipstick? Video #6: ow.ly/GTCC307x5Co
Love this series, the only problem is I have to watch it twice! First to see her make the object and second too learn about the origins of said object.
No, I meant that I was surprised that it wasn't invented because someone needed it for a functional reason -- it was invented because a doctor didn't want to press his ear against a woman's chest. If he had been less squeamish about getting boobs in his face, the stethoscope may not have been invented for years, or decades. That was my point.
I'm always amazed by the art but I always have to watch twice, once for the art and once for the content. No changes needed, though. It's a high quality production and I'm happy to watch the video more than once :)
Whoever is the one drawing, cutting out and then putting together all these different things with just some paper, tape and glue is absolutely incredible at what they do. I'm hypnotized by what they're doing more than the actual story so I have to go back and rewatch the video. But I don't mind, I love watching TedEd videos. I can't get enough so I always end up binge watching their videos. Thank you TedEd for all of the knowledge that you've brought us over the years.
I kinda wish people would just listen to the fact that a great medical tool was invented...I'm pretty sure it's a GOOD thing when a doctor respects both his own boundaries, and his patient's privacy, and it's even cooler when a useful invention comes from it.
Forgive me; I've never done it nor had it done to me, so I just assumed that's what you did. I thought it worked like blowing a raspberry, hence the "motorboat" kind of noise.
I have no interest in other women's boobs, my friend, though perhaps at some point in the future I could be on the receiving end. Just need to get out and actually meet people xP
You know, this is what we need: "In a moment of dignity..." - a series about people making the right thing even when they have a choice. Seriously, this guy wasn't even tempted.
I grew up in an antique drug store to witch is the proud owner of a hallow cylinder of wood that would have been used to monitor the pulse of a heartbeat. Primitive yet effective.
While watching the thing being made is quite exciting, I think there's need to make some room for pictures of things being spoken about by the narrator. It can clearly be seen from dozens of template comments under each of these videos that something needs to be changed in order for audience to digest information properly. After all, the main goal of ted-ED vids is to spread knowledge of facts, not to give aesthetic pleasure.
As interesting as the stories may be, I always find it rather difficult to follow the narration, as the pictures are way too distracting. In my opinion, the purpose of a video should be to convey one single subject via both narration and pictures at the same time. But with this video series, you basically show us how to craft certain object and tell us the story behind them. No wonder there are always a lot of people in the comments telling you that they need to watch the video twice.
I do understand Mr. René. May be that the woman in question is not so pretty or her skin may be dry or peeling off or even her "bosom" may not be to his taste. Thank you for this video.
