The very first computer, invented by a Brit, was Babbage's Differencing Engine. This was designed, and part built, a couple of centuries ago. It is an analog, rather than digital computer. There is a full scale reconstruction of Babbage's original design in the U.K. And it works. It was designed to accurately predict the trajectory and distance of an artillery shell.
Tysheen, cats eye reflectors were invented by Yorkshireman Percy Shaw in the 1930's, as a solution to the problem of driving home at night when it was foggy, and he couldn't discern the confines and direction changes of the road properly. Put simply they are a pair of reflective lenses set into a squashy rubber housing so that they can be depressed by a vehicle's wheel running over them and spring back into shape. They are laid into, and flush with, the road surface at intervals along the centre of the road. They are so called because when they are illuminated by a vehicle's headlights they shine back much like a cat's eyes do when a light shines on them in the dark.
Anyone worked out what % of British inventions were made by Scots? Rather more than the 10% population of the UK figure, I'd guess. Wiki has a very long 'List of Scottish Inventions' if you want to check this.
You missed one, Mercerised cotton the process invented by a relative of mine. Makes cotton stronger, gives it a slight shine and helps fixs the dye. John Mercer 1844. Now used for lots of things
I think you have seen The Teasmade' it is featured at the very start of Queen's official video 'I want to break free'! The beginning of the video is a (loving) spoof celebrating the longest running TV 'soap' in the world, Coronation Street, made in Manchester, UK, by Granada ITV. :)
In the USA they still have street running trains, including large freight trains. In the UK railway tracks are fenced off except for where they cross roads.
The 'Teasmade machine' was once a common retirement gift by businesses in the UK. Just when you no longer need an alarm clock that makes you a cup of tea to get you up for work, they give you one!😁
The British Empire brought less violence and higher living standards than what happened before. Furthermore it was better to the indigenous people than other colonising powers.

But I do think the world needs to stop hating on us so much (it's sort of fashionable to do so these days) sure my ancestors did some evil stuff, but so did every country tbh, everyone was fighting for supremacy when you study world history. But for all the bad we did, we sure as hell made up for it and then some.

Britain - really did create the modern world. But part of its success was the welcome given to refugees and immigrants from Europe - Lombard's, Walloons, Flemish, Hognuts who all made major contributions toward the Industrial revolution. The "Empire" was a trading Empire - based on a desire for trade, not conquest. Small island, small population and Empire was only ever possible with the active and willing participation of the locals in the places they went to trade. If "colonisation" was so bad, why are two of greatest cities in world are ex colonies - Hong Kong and Singapore. Being a British colony was usually a much better bet than being Spanish, Portuguese, French, Belgian, German, Italian or Dutch, or Ottoman for that matter - which would have been the other option. And at immense cost in treasure and blood, unilaterally decided to end the slave trade around the entire world.
We can imagine that there was only one political system in the world or there was more input of "ordinary" people in government and not ruled by an elite but that is quite unlikely so we must make the best of what we have. I believe Winston Churchill said that our democracies were the best of the rotten lot which by definition means democracy is no more than O.K. i guess.
His comment about Israel didn’t really need to be there. But it’s good to be aware of the good the Britain has put into the world. There is so much online hate for Britain. Some people will give the impression that Britains only contribution was slavery and colonialism. There has hardly ever been a nation on this earth that hasn’t got some nasty skeletons in its closet. It’s human nature. There will always be good and always be bad. Another point to add, many of Britains greatest inventions were Scottish. I know that there’s a lot of talk about Scotland wanting to be independent etc. But, speaking as an Englishman, I’m immensely proud to be associated with the Scots. Historically their invention and industry have been essential to Britain’s past successes. They’ve also enriched the British Isles culturally. If they want to break away, then that’s their choice to make. But I’d be sad for the loss. Not because I think England should in some way control the Scots. But because I love standing shoulder to shoulder with their great nation.
Not just culturally - my DNA came back as 45% Scottish! No wonder I was always fascinated when my English teacher was speaking to the clas - she was a Scot! I knew about a percentage of Irish, but otherwise considered English. Life is full of interesting surprises isn't it? All due to the findng and usage of DNA!
A good video to react to, but he missed one of the most important British developments - the modern Sewer. The work of Joseph Bazalgette, this one development has probably saved more lives than any other in the developed world. Effective sewers have largely eliminated Cholera as a disease in built up areas, wheras prior to Bazalgette's work, Cholera was a literal city-killer...
A Japanese company published a study which concluded that 54% of the world’s inventions came from the UK. To be honest I doubt it was that high, but it’s still going to be a very significant percentage.
A train that runs on tracks on a road, are called trams. You are completely missing the point. It’s not people from all over the World, it’s the British.
The Brits invented the flushing toilet but the Aussies invented the dual flush toilet; one button for number ones & another for number twos thus greatly saving water.
Who made the lever? I technically beat Australia with dual flush as turn lever part way is like a flush for ones and only if fully turn lever it's to flush all

The American colonies declared independence from Britain in 1776. The railway was invented in Britain in the early 1800s. So no, the British did not build railways in the American colonies.
To be fair, given the scale of the Empire and the resources and people within it, we had a bit of help with some of that. And as everyone knows everything is easier when you have good help.
I wonder why the guy he mentioned as the best country's in the world🤔There's no scientific reason evidence of such a statement🤐It's the opposite.All these country's he's mentioned is placed on the bottom of every index scale of happiness,wealth and so on😏
What we obviously did not do for you was teach you grammar, it should be 'what did the British do for us' it helps not to confuse tenses. I think our greatest contribution to, in common with much of europe was the enlightement, which was the basis both of political democracy and the scientific method, both of which have had and stll have a profound lasting influence that has shaped our world. Look at the current mess that is happening from globalisation and the abandonment of the scientific reality, both the complete opposite of the enligtenment.
'What have the British done for us'. Americans tend not to use the Present Perfect tense so much, which is a shame as it is a very precise way of describing actions that happened from the past until now. Unlike the Past Simple tense which just describes an event that started and finished in the past.

Ehh I stopped watching at 'the only decent country in the middle east is Israel...' . The guy probably would have had a point about the benefits of european technological advances etc, but that particular comment told me a little too much about the extremity to which he stands personally on some important topics...
Many beieve he is right. Let us not forget it is only a few decades ago that the other countries in the middle east openly accepted the enslavement of anyone who was not a muslim. Also, how many Muslims live in Israel compared to how many Jews live in Arab countries! Put your copy of Mein Kampf away and take a look around you!
You may not like it but he's right. The only democratic country in the Middle East where gays and women have equal rights and Arabs are even in parliament.
@@f3aok I'm not even saying that those points are factually incorrect - I'm just saying that the fact that he chose to sneak that comment in the way that he did, suggests a lot about the guy's personal attitude toward the discussion.

I think our greatest contribution to, in common with much of europe was the enlightement, which was the basis both of political democracy and the scientific method, both of which have had and stll have a profound lasting influence that has shaped our world. Look at the current mess that is happening from globalisation and the abandonment of the scientific reality, both the complete opposite of the enligtenment.
'What have the British done for us'.
Americans tend not to use the Present Perfect tense so much, which is a shame as it is a very precise way of describing actions that happened from the past until now. Unlike the Past Simple tense which just describes an event that started and finished in the past.
Are you speaking English? Make sure you have enough water - especially the plastic bottled (American) kind. You speak English? I wonder why....l Did you go to school? Oh, yes, the American Dream crap.
Its American English 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Thats what call it .Bill of rights stolen from the English bill of rights ,common law ,judge and jury .I could go on forever
Us Brits should be rightly proud of our contributions to the modern world, but if we hadn't invented or discovered something, someone else would have eventually.
I'm not convinced, look around yourself.
WOULD THEY ???
Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone. He worked at the patent office and stole the patent off a bloke called Marconi.
Yes of course, and I bet you think Gladys west invented GPS too
Bs marconi was radio not phone
obviously a JERALOUS Yank
WWRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGG.
YOU MEAN INVENTORS IN THE WEST
What ?
Ehh I stopped watching at 'the only decent country in the middle east is Israel...' . The guy probably would have had a point about the benefits of european technological advances etc, but that particular comment told me a little too much about the extremity to which he stands personally on some important topics...
Many beieve he is right. Let us not forget it is only a few decades ago that the other countries in the middle east openly accepted the enslavement of anyone who was not a muslim. Also, how many Muslims live in Israel compared to how many Jews live in Arab countries!
Put your copy of Mein Kampf away and take a look around you!
You may not like it but he's right. The only democratic country in the Middle East where gays and women have equal rights and Arabs are even in parliament.
What benefits have the jews ever done?
@@robertlonsdale5326 You mean like Einstein?
@@f3aok I'm not even saying that those points are factually incorrect - I'm just saying that the fact that he chose to sneak that comment in the way that he did, suggests a lot about the guy's personal attitude toward the discussion. It's not a tone that I find especially healthy, useful, or interesting. Have a great night!
