Old Military Tech Created Modern Smartphones 

Silicon Valley owes more to the state intervention than they are willing to admit. Good video, John.

I feel like you have perfectly blended the 30 minute historical documentary with modern tech content and I just didn’t even realize how much I needed this niche. Thank you for making these, they are incredible

Not related to the main topic of the video, but... it's interesting to see how many of the most prominent entrepreneurs we know today, such as Jobs and Bezos, also had notable family members. Jobs' mother was one of the first employees of the first publicly traded company in Silicon Valley. Bezos's grandfather was one of the founders of the Pentagon. There are many other examples, but the ones mentioned in the video were new to me.

Interesting - we hear so much about the British defensive radar network. Nothing about the Germans' use of radar. I came to Stanford in the late 70's, and spent many an hour studying in the brand new Terman Engineering Center. I had frequently heard Terman referred to as "The Father of Silicon Valley," but I was unaware of how much of its current level of prestige Stanford ultimately owes to the U.S. Government.

Great video, I would love a part 2 to this topic, since I think there is a deeper discussion that can be had covering how modern day warfare between countries has changed drastically. Specfically highlighting 2 of the threats that we are facing and what it means for citizens, as well as the private sector. As a example, we could focus on how propaganda has evolved to a dangerous degree thanks to the internet and more specifically the algorthrthims that were developed by private companies to keep users engaged and target ads.

What a great follow up to your previous videos regarding tech and the military

YES!!! Peter Thiel said that The US should go back to its roots and the history of Silicon Valley is a history of The Military-Industrial Complex!!!

Each video gets better and better. I'd rather watch this channel than most of Netflix

Fred Turman is another of those very important men that almost no one has ever heard of.

It is truly amazing how high your production bar is man. Just wow!

This is the type of content you won't get from established historical organizations

Man, you're good at this stuff! you make incredible video essays that are very, very enjoyable to watch. thank you very much, John!! 👍😁

Premium content, good sir. I am thrilled to have stumbled upon your channel.

Great content. Impressive work! 👍

I have yet to see any other video that jams so many facts in so short of a time, I can't stop watching

How am I only just now finding your channel? I've watched 3 videos of your back to back and each one was simply fantastic. I love your delivery, your style, and most importantly the topics you choose to cover. Definitely earned my subscription! I only wish I would have found your channel long ago. Keep up the great work!

That's some GREAT content. Keep it up ❤

Every video you post i learn something new. you are the MVP when it comes to edutainment in my personal opinion

Bro love your channel

Radar jammers are the first de facto “hackers.” 😳

Amazing videos as always!

I watch this kind of content all the time. Quality and knowledge seems top notch. You have more subscribers coming!

Great content.... I be sure to watch more of your videos.

Very elegant, thank you.18:50 The Americans and Russians plus China have fought armed conflict since 1946. The Korean Proxy War between 1950 - 1953 was US versus USSR/China. The Vietnam Proxy War between 1954 - 1975 was US versus USSR/China...Unfortunately, the current Ukraine Proxy War is nothing new historically.

I really love your videos. It's the way you explain things and your voice for me. But you don't release regularly unfortunately. Would love to see more videos

As the video releases i like it first cause i know whatever we are going to get is going to be amazing and knowledgeable head off to you john

Excellent investigation reporting!

How does an Econ Major know all this? CIA? 😳

Thoroughly enjoy your content

The battle of the beams. Thanks for another great video.

Fire content John!!

The same cat and mouse game is happening right now for development of AI and the control of over-developed AI. Hope human can be the cat eventually not the opposite.. if is the opposite, we are doomed.. 😊😊

John ur vids are amazingly awesome. Love it, learnt a lot from it.

Amazon and maybe Microsoft can help with their cloud system AWS and Azure to help Government agency host their cloud stuff. i want to start a company to help the government do cool shit.

Ya bro. Matter of time before my sister takes notice of this channel and starts hitting your IG for professional head

This is the best ever, make more

top tier content as usual

Pushing the algorithm ❤️

Nice one mate

Bro how can you make this kind of videos I a short period of time?

Your videos are done so well. As to today’s topic, did war propel tech forward or did tech propel The War’s victory? What can we learn from that era and how does apply AI?

1. U.S Birmingham or U.K Birmingham. 2. They initially thought nuclear energy was sci-fi or couldn't be tamed? Great content, really can't help looking like Spiderman lol

Pharaos ordering their wizards to come up with spells to fight their enemies. History rhymes.

JOHN YOU ARE THE BEST

Phenomenal at your job

This is so awesome 👏

It's sad that all this intellectual property is often made secret. As a society we could' be so much more advanced. If only we shared our knowledge better,

Ron: _”War. War never changes.”_

It feel like that DARK STORM Iis over our heads once again

NAXOS ... they used a GREEK Island name. The Germans used names of islands when radar search receivers were concerned (Naxos, Korfu, Samos, Fanö, Zypern) ... little fun fact✌️

Lawrence Preston Gise, one of the Founder of DAARPA is Jeff Bezos GRAANPAA? Coincidence?

For some reason I really want to get a Brooks Brothers shirt 🤔

Can you please provide information about the Douma incident and the OPCW's handling of it? As an informed individual, could you share any insights you have on the scandal and its implications?"

When did John become a military tech RU-vidr?

A very interesting topic I’ll say that

US military is able to help private scientists and enterprises develop advance tech? What do military people know about high tech other than wars and military weapons? It just goes to show that the whistle blowers were right about the US military having acquired ET tech and through back engineering, developed our own high tech. True, our human scientists and engineers are the ones developing our own high tech, but only after what the US military (unacknowledged ones) showed them what can be done. These are what my thoughts are, from all the information out there on the internet.

Frank Therman may have solved the question of why Johnson noise was ktb, Boltzmann's constant ▪︎ Kelven temperature ▪︎ radar bandwidth, instead of 4 ktb an oversimple theoretical estimate. This, with its better understanding of thermal noise in radar circuits, was a WWll secret. You may factcheck this checking a footnote in the thermal noise section of a 1941 book "Radar Engineering" by Fink. (I am marginally housed so I couldn'.t keep my father's copy) He, Charles Mack Brown jr. was a Cal Tech EE grad Bs 1943 who quickly became a civilian radar engineer in the US navy and ended up in Lockheed /Sunnyvale and Mercury Nevada. In 1973 I filed for a patent, us3890161a, Diode Array, for a device which absorbs heat converting it to an equivelent amount of electrical energy via aggrgated rectified Johnson noise from a plurality of consistently aligned diodes. This would be an outstanding source of electricaĺ energy and refrigeration. I am taking the pure science road of keeping it open source. Industry, government science, academia, finance, and the military are not configured to develop this easily. It needs crowdsource grants to develop proof of concept and initial recipe prototypes. Another approach is to develop a related device now called the thermicay. The thermicay mainly consists of two electrodes closely face to face (~1 micrometer) in a vacuum wired to an external electrical load. The face of the [Emitter] electrode is covered with a uniform array of LaB6 tipped small diameter carbon nanotubes grown straight out. The face of the [Absorber] electrode is covered with small scale graphine flake char. [Rice U 2014] Thermal energy mobilized unattached electrons will tend to free themselves outward from the emitter tips and drift at ~1 million meters / second @ 25 millivolts (thermal electron energy @ 20 C) to the absorber which tends to collect them. A negative charge accumulates on the absorber. This repels oncoming electrons slowing their forward drift, cooling them. The absorber electrode charge is simultaneously the repelling cooling and the external electrical load voltage. The drift current and external wire route current are the same. The DC electrical power consumed by the electrical load depends on the load resistance. Thermal energy absorption always equals the electrical yield. Wire resistance is a practical loss not a true loss so lt is overcome by added thermary output. The extra cooling balances the heat given off by the wire loss. The performance of the device is expected to be modest in the beginning but improve rapidly. Even early devices are expected to last a long time. There is little place for obsolence if the first installed thermary works adequately. They will withstand being short circuited indefinately up to an electromigration limit. Here is a thought experiment device that hypothetically creates self powered thermal diversification. The thought experiment device is impractical but easy to visualize and check for mechanical workability. Its parts are large enough to act as everyday mechanisms but small enough to work well with the nanometer scale thermal motions of gas molecules. Sketch made with keyboard characters: COLD ROOM ())--:WALL:-->> HOT ROOM Key ()) = Paddlewheel. -- = Axle. (Continuous from end to end) : : = Axle tunnel going through a wall. >> = Lumped friction element Please visualize two roome full of air separated by a very thin wall that allows the rooms to hold their heat independently with minor leakage through the wall. The wall is thin to delicately support billions of separate nanometer scale short axles running straight through loosely enough to rotate freely but not leak very much heat so the rooms can hold separate temperatures. On the left side, a very small paddlewheel is mounted at the left end of each axle. On the right side, lumped friction elements are mounted stationary in place on the wall, one for each axle, for the right end of each axle to run through. The lumped friction elements convert the mechanical rotation of their axle into heat. The lumped friction elements do not impart Brownian motion to their axle. Brownian motion (a nanometer scale effect) turns the paddlewheels at random speeds randomly clockwise or counterclockwise. This random rotation is turned into heat by the lumped friction elements. The committed, linked, and functional roles of the walls, paddlewheels, axles, and lumped friction elements in differnt places should systemically produce a divergence in the thermal energy in the two rooms without adding external energy.

Wonderful. I'm a little less ignorant after watching your videos. Man you're Changing some of my views.

Big shout out to Steve Blank!

My favorite

Rob & his biotech minions saying Hi

A lot of the best innovations came from elsewhere. I don't look fondly at innovations that were created to more efficiently kill and conquer others, and that's what the military is for. I do however look fondly upon the innovations that came from developing space travel, NASA has been responsible for so many innovations. Ultimately NASA is still part of the government I despise so much and has helped develop tools of war too, so it isn't that great. Let's just remember that the US government changed the name of the Department of War to the Department of "Defense" to make it seem like we're not constantly on the offensive.

Phone 1920? Make it make sense bro

Military industrial complex

Wasn‘t ist the founder of Intel who raised his company in silicon Valley because of the Range to his mom? Maybe they have something common. I think l‘m after a hot story…

Fun fact : Thing from Wednesday Addams was played by none other than John himself 🤣

Today, Big Science is doing gain of function research. Yaaayyyy (I know there's good stuff too).

u r the best

Only 450 bombers & 4500 men saved seems like his Tec was only used for one bombing raid? With over 100 million mid 1940’s dollars spent! Something seems wrong with these stats.

Maybe you should ask some of those tech why they signed that letter. Ask them what they "don't understand" and you might learn something. But I'm certain you know better than 3000 of the best educated specialists on the planet about their own jobs. Excellent video, btw.

Dr John Trump was at MIT and was instrumental in the microwave tech for radar.

Wow 😮

Imagine what the created since than!!! 😬😬😳😳

another masterpiece. great stuff John

I know chaff from playing Metal Gear Solid!

Did you have open ai write these scripts? Or is the discovery channel doing it? Lol

Bgm is too loud

Once again humanity trips over and then stumbles into the unfortunate reality of nature that is war

What about if invent the drone under sea w/out using propeller, by using arms just an arms of crabs that can accellerate up to 100 miles ph so that those sea indruder can be deafeat, I was saw it on my naked eyes that the submersuble insect on water disappear on naked eyes. so my summarrizzation is to build a machine & feather of that thing which is not detechtable. PS. That under water insect measures only ,mm centemeter. they can make it at least F 35 under water penetrator. GOD SPEED.

Never went to the moon

Many times the advancements of society are preceded by a military need.

What's your thoughts on Global Fascism, or Socio-fascism/Social Fascism?

nice

The greatest evil the world has ever known was Pharaoh/Firaun!

Your videos are better than the ones bbc and cnn make! 👌🏽

To drop his phone in a bucket of water in the 1920... What a joke...

ahm? phone in 1920, howww??

This Story Is Very Inspiring. Good Luck American People.

🙌🙌👍👍

Why is it always WW2?

War = Progress ?

Another evil is ready

👌

Anything a contractor can drum up as a new bogeyman is rubber stamped as "an existential threat." The only existential threats the US faces are its own contractors.

👍👍👍

WAR brings about... It was the best of times it was the worst of times

Never say "simply put", just say what you're going to say.

This is a great video. Really like it. One thing though, at the end you mention current threats. Not only russian hackers. russia as a state is a threat and an enemy.
