The Glass Age, Part 1: Flexible, Bendable Glass 

EYE Glasses have helped millions of people all over the Earth.

Only took them 5 years to get us to do it

@@SeaJay_Oceans Glass eyes anyone?

@@thomasdickson35 oh, ya that too. I was just talking with a guy with one glass eye. Amazing craftsmanship, I couldn't tell. Until he looked left and right, then I noticed it did not move. But when he was looking straight ahead, his glass eye looked perfect.

Did anyone else realize this video is from 2014? almost 5 years old

Always gonna have at least one random thought in a persons head, especially with those two.

I thought your were referring to the hotdog style foldable phone compared to the hamburger style...

I mean, everything could be plastic

He cant imagine a world without glass because its too blurry

probably some glass or something in thoes hotdogs

A 9 minutes ad

#MeToo

@@empirebarbershop1222 you also??

Yet it was entertaining for the nearly 9 minutes.

2020

like this one?

It would be beautiful

@@Sinsanatis yes... That's the irony

Cable would have been better than Hulu Plus

Wait... Times Square wouldn’t exist

We will never forget rocket car

I agree

Exactly my thought. He doesn't even make an effort to make it seem like he is not just saying scripted things, he even makes it obvious that he finds it either annoying or very boring...

Smart English my friend, even in that crap show he had to memorize his lines and repeat. Wake up.

They are almost as good at selling stuff as old spice. They have great commercials.

+Robert Headley Actually that's a really good point.

+Robert Headley their adverts don't just say "buy our glass because it makes you sexy" like most other ads do. They show you why their glass is amazing through facts. That's why I love this. Good job Corning.

I work at Corning inc. One of the worst companies as far as treatment of their employees I have ever seen.

+Brandon Harrington not any more you dont lol, only jokin

They generally work well together. They just aren't close buddies.

I had that in mind as well but I think like The Usher just said, I don't think there were any issues between so much as just a lack of friendship, but just like enemies may lack friendship, not all who lack friendship are enemies.

@@identifiesas65.wheresmyche95 tyyn

the do not dislike each other, they just aren’t best friends.

@@verbosed A-type creative intelligent personalities rarely best friends. But as a common goal they can put their minds together. The sum of is greater than their individual contributions. Consider the projects, and people that put invented the first nuclear bomb. Although many of these scientists were very good co-workers, they were not a fraternity that hung out much after the war.

Nevermind, I see you're against net neutrality. I'll do my best to avoid your products and let others know your position on the matter!

No one likes dick heads, information is something that America was founded on. We fight to not be trapped inside a place like Russia. Go home you Commie!

Net Neutrality sounds good, if you don't know how the internet works and why Netflix, Amazon, Google, RU-vid, ... all want it so badly. Billionaires don't want it for your benefit. Together, Netflix and RU-vid are more than half of all download traffic in the US; They should have to pay for that. Net Neutrality will allow them to force out competition with sheer volume and force you to pay for their traffic even if you don't use their service. They're trying to make the Internet Service Providers out to be the greedy bad guys, because they don't want to pay their fair share. I'd rather my Netflix bill go up because Netflix has to pay more, than my internet bill go up because Netflix doesn't have to pay more.

Orlando Pockets Yeah, it's definitely not what it's being sold as. I wish I would've noticed this guy doesn't know what a "terrorist" is (or thinks Jefferson bombed civilians) before I tried to explain that.

Absolutely, Netflix, Google etc.. are for net neutrality because it's good for their business, just like an ISP controlled internet is good for the ISPs who also have TV/phone packages, I have no idea WTF that's got to do with Net Neutrality being best for the progression of society Al Brautigam Google (and their subsidiaries), Netflix, Amazon, Wiki etc... already pay for Internet access and they pay A HUGE amount of money for it due to their bandwidth requirements, we as consumers pay for internet access so we can ACCESS the internet. Both parties are already paying, if only the big, established businesses can pay the levy for unhobbled internet, they're the only ones that people will use. Video providing ISPs do not want Netflix etc to succeed, they're taking huge chunks of the viewerships (and with it ad revenue) from those video providing ISPs, hence Verizon hobbling their customer's access to Netflix, ComCast hobbling HBO Go on Playstation etc.. The scary parts come when they decide that business X is saying too many negative things about them, so they block/restrict access to their website/content and with these companies being so politically active (bribes and misinformation) how long until political activist groups start having their content blocked. People are already being arrested for protesting (the most basic of human rights). I don't know where you get your information but IMO, it's not from sources that are looking to help you but rather to use you to help themselves. If what already exists is the best system for the internet, why is the internet so ridiculously crap in America, where they've been so anti-neutrality? Why is there no choice for 'high speed (which isn't very high speed btw) internet for the majority of people in a socio-economic system based on competition? "I'd rather my Netflix bill go up because Netflix has to pay more, than my internet bill go up because Netflix doesn't have to pay more. " Why should netflix have to pay extra so that you can use the bandwidth you're paying for to consume their content. You're paying for internet access, it doesn't matter wtf you do with that bandwidth, you're paying for it, and netflix is paying for their service. You're advocating for a system where you pay your ISP for internet access then indirectly pay them again to use that internet access for a few specific services. You're paying twice (three times if you include the internet Netflix is already paying for and passing the cost on). I really don't think you understand how the internet works. Personally, I've been a tech geek for over 20 years and have studied and worked as a network engineer.

i was just going to add a comment about how i had no idea this was a corning ad until the end. i knew something was fishy the whole time.

+jedrzejku it was a joke

GeKin G no, it wasn't. it was a real ad.

A real horrible one, the acting made my head hurt.

yeah, I'm used to the terrific acting I see in all the other ads I watch. ;)

I wheezed so hard at this sentence

Do they hate each other wth?

@@gabrielking1247 They don't, they aren't friends, and they got on each other's nerves, but they did enjoy working together

@@sabero5668 they are just business partners

Earth air, fucking epic!

Lol. Well, whether we like it or not every major phone company runs a monopoly on us. If they invented phones with indestructible screens and bodies, yet with a timeless all-great look, with an interface that is very fast and virtually never prone to age..they wouldn't make money. Why? You buy that phone once, you won't need another. It's all marketing my friend. They make money from our ignorance and by us simply being slaves to their hierarchy. They can do those things I mentioned but they NEVER will. This theme pretty much goes with everything money can buy in terms of every day to day technology (phones, computers, tablets, tv's, etc....), cars, clothing, the list goes on.... Even Corning is running a monopoly. They're not going to ever share with anyone as to how their glass is made. They will depend on people who just want their product, with no intention to learn the trick of the trade. I personally hate that idea. Nikola Tesla himself was killed because he wanted to create a form of technology that would provide the world with free wireless-energy. They killed him for that, plus many other things he knew and discovered. I'd hate to be the one to say it but we live in a nasty world.

that's apple fore you

Dude Nikola Tesla wasn't killed...he died alone of natural causes at age 80 in a hotel in New York.

Not all phone companies, use Corning's Gorilla Glass...

This is an ad?

Yes

That, and ads that tell a good story will always resonate with me. For example, "The Man Who Walked Around The World" from Jonny Walker. A six minute long-take describing the history of blended scotch and the Walker family's influence in it, narrated by Robert Carlyle.

That's because in order to sell product, they need to answer the question of "what's so great about this that I'd spend money on it?" and nothing engages the mind quite like whiz-bang "whoa, that was cool!" demonstrations.

Nice pic

The Silicon Age would be too obvious..

We assume you will be able to make it you got some Good nite and Sweet tomatoes for

Yeah. And it's not like that in most applications glass couldn't be substituted by a certain kind of plastic aka carbon based polymer, which is also not as aged in it's 1st discovery as glass. Otherwise you also could name our time concrete or steelage still...

How about... eleven times

@@Danny-no7jp thats good

Witch is worse,,,a paper cut...ouch~ Or being cut by glass...lol~ Enjoy

I get it.

Seven Fold! He who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the Window Pane By Throwing a man!

Nah bruh, didn't you see how clean and spotless their clothes were? It's a Tide ad.

HeeHee too funny!

Owens Corning isn’t associated with either Corning Glass or Owens Illinois since the thirty’s. For its first few years it was a partnership between the two.

Wate what

yes they sure are

amen bro, I grew up with them, and they are an integral part of who I am and stand for, I miss MythBusters so much

good turtle.

Yep. The roles were reversed at the start. Then somehow Jamie is the know-it-all. Strangly bad writing for a well-shot commercial.

Don't say kus words

Shit fuck

Meanwhile, they're reading the prompter through polycarbonate lenses.

Hello5777 I thought about that too, haha. Like how long did it take them to make that, for a three second shot lol

They had to gain the trust of the viewers by making us laugh, or at least exhale loudly.

Actually, what they used starting at about 6:00 is called EL (electroluminescent) wire, which contains NO glass whatsoever. It is thin copper wire coated with phosphor, wrapped with another fine wire. Pretty cool stuff, but NOT glass at all. Fairly inexpensive stuff that you can buy all over the Internet. These guys should know better.

Corning’s not glass

but then they wouldn't get to make this advertisement lol.

without milk?!

No this is Patrick without milk.

JingleJoe you are a beast

He's only a beast if it's Grapenuts or bran. Cheerios, and chocolate-frosted sugar bombs, don't count.

Lol

mindfucked

No it would not have we we would just be in the age

Naw, just look at how things went in FF 13-3 where no one could die of age.

@@helloperson9445 Age²

I'm not sure I want my 4 minute song interrupted by a 10 minute ad.

ComandanteJ More like the fat age, unfortunately.

Yeah, aint that true? And maybe 0,1% of the fat people have a medical condition that makes them grow fatter than normal people while eating normally, but the rest of the fat people are fat just because gluttonny. I know stress and shit can make someone eat more than he should, but not to the point of not seen your *thing* when going to take a pee.

Corning isn't known for concrete though. do they dont give a fuck.

@@juanthestabber you illiterate fuck.

Corning isn't paying them to promote plastic.

That's the advertising adge

Totally agree but most technologies in our lives has glass more than plastic and besides they're not trying to promote global warming

Copier

They send the heart police to put you under Cardiac arrest and as they drag you the door They tell you that you've failed the test

lol

true

Don't be so negative. The glass is starting to get bending features, no more fragile emotions.

Perhaps it's allways been that way, and we're just now becoming adult enough to be honest about it. Instead of pain being secretly expressed through artistic expressions, now we as a race are learning to face our emotions and manage them instead of putting them to the side.

thats so offensive!

The ads... they're getting.. smarter..

Me too! At least it was entertaining...

You should feel fortunate.

Just Disagree with them, say: *"Hell No - It's All About PLASTIC!"* ........... all media's advertising - the one that P me off is MS News and their obvious Poor Acting Prejudice Promoters. Fostering Ignorance ... Go get em!

Guess you didn't notice that the channel name is "Corning Incorporated" did you?

yea

Well he always looks generally unenthusiastic, so it's a bit hard to tell for sure.

***** yes, but I swear there's a bit of "Oh god, what did I just say? Am I going to be able to sleep tonight?" every once in a while in his eyes - I see it a bit more in part 2

***** Also, he's Jamie. So he just naturally looks either pissed off or indifferent.

I've got some advice for you little buddy...before you point that finger you should know that I'm the man, he's the man, and she's the man as well so you can point that fucking finger up your ass.

should be on top

MOOOOOOOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYY!!!!!

Just Jamie, Adams tries to be funny but you can clearly see that he's not really in his environment, the suit doesn't help

Or maybe a *glass* of water.

@@FlorinCrisan21 Also they guys legit dont like each other at all, idk if anyone really knows their back story on their show. They have zero love for each other.

@@moose9626 still, they worked together for over 10 years

@@FlorinCrisan21 his shoes were the best part of the suit.

That's what I was wondering...

the skin of a hotdog is 96% glass.

Maybe he was thinking of a neon hotdog sign? Made, of course, with glass tubes.

It's a joke...

He was hungry

maybe silicium age. because is very useful for electronics

jcoronet2000 that was the 70s

It is silicone

Maybe condom age?

Ghostwalker CIA no those are around way before b.c. atleast thats what they thought me at basic school

Hey that's what im learning

@@johnwatson918 what really

@@shilohwalker5051 😂 missing a word. Damn.

Luled

+Cotonetefilmmaker Yup, I would have loved to see this outside of an advertisement so they could have gone into more depth on certain things such as the history and the evolution of the glass creation process or modern types of glass and how their made compared to these new ones and so on. But I feel with the time constraints it had it did a fairly decent job. I for one didn't know ancient Rome had glass in some buildings or that older railroad lights were susceptible to breaking in the rain. It makes logical sense thinking about it, but it's something I never considered or learned about till now.

+Cotonetefilmmaker This is the kind of advertisement that I really like. Enjoyable and informative.

+Realname No ikr

who still uses paper? what are we in medieval age?

What about glass toilet paper?

Wipe your ass with fiber glass xD

Grumpy Old Man Underrated comment

Joseph Taylor ew. We wash our asses not just wiping them you dirty ass

Willy Yappy Graphene most likely will not enter the common market for an excess of 40+ years due to cost, production time and cost, and need for the actual production of graphene. Graphene just isn't needed in this age. Yeah, it may conduct electricity 0.25% better, but that's not sufficient enough to replace every electrical powerline with it. It's​ just not needed.

Graphene can do anything in the world except leave a lab

@@jd16596 True True.

Women and their silicon implants.

​ Ruben Zikarsky I mean, 40+ years is not that far away for the tale end of an age. Your right though, conducting electricity .25% better is not worth it to replace powerlines. Thats just a dream scenario type stuff, and not necessary at present. However its capability to help store power in conjunction with other materials is much more of interest, and the resulting longevity of the batteries with their ability to maintain charge couple that with being able to charge and pull power at faster rates and it, makes it a very useful material, once you've got a cost effective manufacturing method. Power storage has always and is still currently a big problem. Excess power in power grids is wasted, and considering the reliability issues with solar and wind makes them a good coupling material. Power storage is sorely needed in this age, and if graphene can do it, then its fair to say that Graphene is sorely needed (although there's definitely other materials that could also do it) Imagine electric cars that can charge in a few minutes (or seconds) vs hours, can go much further on a charge, and has a longer life span, and you see why having a potential super capacitor is useful.

Well the never said they cant stand each other, just that they aren't friends.

www.polygon.com/2015/10/22/9593334/mythbusters-final-season-relationship you are correct my bad

TwitchyTopHat sure they did it for money

TwitchyTopHat and a paycheck from Corning.

One thing I've learned in life is that your better when you work with someone you hate than one of your friends

you are not alone :)

yes we did

Replace "captivated" with "high" and here we are...

Maybe because RU-vid has realised that trash createors like Logan Paul will start to go out of fashion, so they are promoting educational but entertaining content!

@@allamasadi7970 Hey as long as they keep them coming with all these satisfying and astounding videos that I've missed in the past, I'm game

***** too bad they do. do research before spewing out bs.

masso172 the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus actually use Sapphire Glass, which is actually far superior to Gorilla Glass, since it uses synthetic sapphire.

Nameless Hmm, Sapphire glass may be superior than gorilla glass in certain applications but I think it was not very wise to use it on a phone. Hence why many people celebrate whenever they drop their phone and the screen doesn't crack lol

masso172 The problem with your last statement is that there are only a handful of phones that use sapphire glass and not gorilla glass, I can only think of two off the top of my head, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus (counting those as one) and the concept Ubuntu phone that I don't believe ever saw an actual release. Edit: The problem with your argument is also a flaw in my argument, since so few phones have used sapphire glass, it hasn't had much real-world testing, I know Corning has made tests comparing the two (Sapphire glass and Gorilla Glass) but for me those test prove about as much as synthetic benchmarking for PC hardware. It's exceedingly simple to design a test to favor your own product versus a product from a competing company.

Nameless no they dont, as i said, DO RESEARCH BEFORE SPEWING OUT BS. Sapphire glass is dropped because its EASIER to break than gorilla glass and more expensive.

Why do you think this is posted by Corning? You're acting like it's not obvious

Calamite he's being sarcastic.

Calemite whoooosh

last scene, the platform moves down to dampen the fall... biased af

Triggered much?

+ICEThat But lets face it it's advertisement for big companies. There isn't anything being sold just to us. Maybe some bakeware or to visit the museum. Which btw the corning museum of glass is pretty great.

it is!?!?!?

Then I would say that it was a good advertizement. I've seen a small trickle of advertizements lately that make me feel better off for encountering them. We should encourage such positive messages to guide advertizers into giving the public what they want :)

I think it is interesting because everyone loves myth busters and it is the myth busters people

One of the few infomercials worth watching.

I know! Maybe it's the display?

yes what was the deal with that hot dog?

Not if it's got a couple fingers of single malt in it.

+notsostrong metallic breast implants would suck. that's why they use silicone instead of silicon.

No this is the Patrick age.

It definitely is. I like how they asked if we could imagine the world without glass, and they brought up glasses. My prescription lenses are made of a polycarbonate, not glass!

It'll be the plastic age only if the plastics industry sponsors the video. Since it's Corning. . . it's the glass age.

Your comment proves it's the idiot age

Or the steel age

Yeah ik I subscribed before Jamie and Adam started sponsoring them. I've always thought the stuff corning was doing was revolutionary, now that they're here its an added bonus. People are saying that their selling out, it's no different when a basketball player sponsors shoes. Sure they're getting paid, but their in a field that is related to their job.
