That's a much happier story than the real Samuel Morse story of the telegraph. He was an artist and was on a commission in New York when he received a letter saying his wife was dying, but by the time he got home she had already died. It was at THAT time that he started thinking of a way to transmit messages much faster than what they had at the time.
I can still recite the Preamble to the Constitution because of Schoolhouse Rock. If I am ever on a trivia show I guess it will be of some use! I bought the cd set for my kids when they were little. But they found it pretty primitive! I ended up watching them by myself! Still love them.
I was doing a research paper on the Wright brothers. I got stuck at one point and was so desperate for anything. Somehow I got an 8 out of 9 in the end
We played this in my Social Studies and Science class last year, and all of the guys wouldn't stop saying "Mother Necessity, where would we be?" until the end of the school year. Everybody in my class was doing that by the time it got to about three months, but I waited till like there was only 3 weeks of school was left, so that was fun XD.
Elias Howe is the inventor and pioneer of the sewing machine. He tells his mother, Polly Howe, he'll fulfill her fondest wishes, and she asks, "Elias, how?"
1:38 THEY SHOULD ADD THIS! "Good answer, you're running along free!" Good job! 2:10 They should add this as well! "Shh, don't you keep wailing. Try again." Incorrect!
Some of the information on this video is inaccurate. For example, Henry Ford did not INVENT the automobile. There are many people responsible for inventing various forms of combustion engines over the years as far back as 1769! However, Karl Benz is generally considered the inventor of the first combustion engine suitable for a horseless carriage. Henry Ford IS however responsible for starting mass production and sales of combustion engine cars around the beginning of the 20th century.
Tesla also invented the Radio. Edison wasn't an inventor. He took other peoples ideas and developed them. Tesla originally worked for Edison, but when Edison refused to pay him he quit. Then went into competition with Edison.
I really wish that people know at least now that Edison ripped off Nikola Tesla and stole his invention. Now I know this was made in the 70's but I really hope that people have there facts straight now in the 21st century and give Tesla some credit!
Ok people, let's be fair on this. As woefully inaccurate as this segment is, give them a break, it's for kids. Let them work out all the kinks and stuff when they're in high school or something.
wrong others invented it he improved it and patented the new improvements Tesla> Edison and Marconi did't "invent" the radio he copied about 60 of Tesla's patens and the paten was awarded to Tesla. Henry Ford didn't invent the car either or the assembly line he went to court to get the paten on the car overturned and used a technique he saw in another factory look it up...
What about the man who invented the air conditioner? the traffic light? the lawn mower? the clothes dryer? Not to mention the man who invented the filament that goes in the light bulb? Or are you saving that for "Black History Rock?" Just askin'.
It's not just for kids. The current alleged President could use a set of Schoolhouse Rock videos. So easy for many of you to sell these people short, but you forget that they did their INDIVIDUAL research under adverse conditions and most others telling them, "That will never work." Is that 'help' form others that 0bama is referring to? Or are you all a bunch of 'hindsight' officials that make claims on other individual's hard work? Either way, you take far too much for granted.
Whitney: The cotton gin was astounding at the time, but NOT necessarily a good thing, as with increased efficiency, it drastically increased both slave labor and the import thereof. www.reference.com/history/did-cotton-gin-affect-slavery-a91af83069280409# Edison: The light bulb wasn't just one single invention, is was actually a progressive evolution of incandescent lighting, over almost a century's worth of different researchers and scientists. Also, Edison did cocaine and he was an awful person, so he's not the best role model. www.livescience.com/43424-who-invented-the-light-bulb.html Howe: Just like the light bulb, the sewing machine was an ever-developing series of inventions, and even after Howe's was patented and began being sold commercially, many inventors came after him and made improvements on it. Howe was just the first to modify a machine that would be easy to sell, before he died. www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-many-many-designs-of-the-sewing-machine-2142740/?no-ist Ford: The automobile is a much older invention than some may think, and Ford certainly didn't invent it. He only developed, like Howe, a model that was easy to sell. www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/mysteries/auto.html In the end, I suppose you could say that some of these people were real inventors, like the Wright Brothers and Marconi, but most were just good salesmen and took their ideas from previous inventors. And, they were lucky enough to sell their product before they died.
@kevin willems I dont know why you dont just put your separate points into different paragraphs so I'm just gonna respond in 1 reply. I know the setting of the inventors in the song is a bit off, like how Morse invented telecommunication because of his dead wife, or how the cotton gun was invented for black slaves to use and not the white man as shown in the video, but this video is for kids and when they grow up they will see the bigger and detailed picture. Also, capitalism isnt about stealing innovation, I dont see how that is, other than someone like Edison. Making innovations is where you get the big money since people want better versions of everything, so companies are in an arms race of making the better version of what their competitors are making. Ford wants to make better cars than Toyota and vice versa. Sony wants to make better consoles than microsoft and vice versa. Hasbro wants to make better toys and Mattel and vice versa. The companies make better products to sway consumers, and in return the consumers obtain better products, probably at a cheaper price too. I see this as an absolute win. Of course there is cases where people abuse capitalism, like slave owners or oil companies, but pretty much every else is not awful like they are. Not everybody, and I'll tell you this, not everyone is awful.
@kevin willems again, please keep things in a single reply to keep it tidy. If you posted the reply and want to add something, there is an option to edit the comment. Anyways, I don't see how paying your workers is exploitation. Like, if you think the pay is too low, then you can either work harder for more money, or get a mew job. Like, I guess not everyone could own a yacht or a private jet, but most people are fine with having a humble home and the possessions they can afford. As long as workers are getting paid, it's a symbiosis. Some people in our society need to be the eyes, some need to be the hands, some need to be the mouth, some need to be the heart, some need to be the lungs, and so on. An eye ball cannot eat without a mouth, and a mouth cannot see without and eye. We all have our roles, and as we make progress, the bottom class will be able to experience things that the higher classes get. Keep in mind that whenever you go to McDonald's or a chinese restaurant or where ever you go out to eat, just remember that you are experiencing the luxuries of a medival king, if not more.
@kevin willems Tne ones on the top of the social ladder are regular people, they just climbed higher, that's why it's called a social ladder. Being born rich or poor means you stay rich and poor, that actually the main point of the USA, that you dont have to settle on being at the bottom. If you want to be like one of them rich guys, you must work hard to climb to the top. If your at the top, be aware that you may be outcompeted and your company will fall apart if you do not prepare for the workload ahead. Like, people like Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gate were just like you and me, but they had ideas and made those ideas a reality, now we, the people, have Microsoft and FaceBook (though I dont use facebook myself, it still is important). On the other side, look at Lego, which was family run, but the grandson of the founder couldnt handle the company, which made Lego lose a lot of profit, so much that the company almost had to sell it all, but then, someone outside the family came and fix it and rebuilt Lego and now its considered the best toy of all time because someone was smart and wise, dispite not being in the family. I tell you these stories to show where you were born does affect who you will be. It may seem impossible, but one thousand steps starts with one. Remember, owners of companies, no matter how corrupt or generous, needs an org chart, and they want to best they can get in their org chart to bring in more profits, so what you ned to do is be the best so that your boss's boss will want you working for them, and let this continue until you are reasonably satisfied. Remember, everyone wants more money, no matter for what, or for whom. Like I said, not everyone will have a yacht and private airplane, and that's ok. We will never reach economic equilibrium, and that's ok. Workers dont get their pay equal to the value of their product because the company need to make a profit, and when they make a profit they will expand, and when they expand they hire more workers, more works means more profit, and more profit means moreexpansion, means more workers, and it continues this symbiotic relationship. Expansion is ok. If workers dont like their pay, it's ok, just climb up the ladder or get a new job. It's all about choice the workers make that makes them successful. Sometimes you may not win, but at least you joined the race. Choice is what America is all about. What do you choose?
@kevin willems ok, you need to stop making multiple comments, it's really annoying, just saying. So anyways, you want an example of the American dream?I am an example of going from poor to middle class, at least my parents are, and I was there for about half of it. I saw the evolution of our home, and the things we put in it. When my dad moved here from latin America, he literally lived in a shed at someone's house as it's all he can afford, but he worked hard and bought a house after being married. The house was in disrepair, the walls were poor cared for and all that. Instead of paying a mega ton of money on a carpenter, he fix the house himself, and maybe some relative came to help, I dont know all the details, but still he fixed a poor house. Years later he slowly but surely gained more and more, like more TVs gaming consoles, ATVs, a trailer, and more, all these slowly over time, ut not much else. Then, as I aged, I noticed we were getting more and more, and ever since my brother started working, our house income increased a lot, so much so we could afford to build a new room in the back, which was just a renovated laundry room that we turned I to a 2nd living room. In this 2nd living room we put a big fancy TV. Fir a shack to a middle class home in california, that is my dad's story. Let's also factor in my mom loves wasting money yet my dad was still clever enough to limit the loss. You want me to look around me to see whether or not the American dream is real? Well, my dad is an example. He doesnt have a fancy job neither, he is a landscaper and a construction worker, people you believe are being exploited. He is also very smart with money, like be buys and rent out homes in other countries for passive income. You picked the wrong person to try to disprove the American Dream, because like I said, my dad lived it, and many other parents too, and many more stories have and will be made.
That's a much happier story than the real Samuel Morse story of the telegraph. He was an artist and was on a commission in New York when he received a letter saying his wife was dying, but by the time he got home she had already died. It was at THAT time that he started thinking of a way to transmit messages much faster than what they had at the time.
arizonatsunami of
That is sad. But also good in an excellent way if you think of it that way. Samuel helped millions of people get their messages faster.
The snowmobile was invented after Joseph-Armand Bombardier's son died in the middle of winter.
yes, true, and also ford did not invent the car, he just made it cheaper.
same for the cotton jin
I can still recite the Preamble to the Constitution because of Schoolhouse Rock. If I am ever on a trivia show I guess it will be of some use! I bought the cd set for my kids when they were little. But they found it pretty primitive! I ended up watching them by myself! Still love them.
My sister has the CD set for this - I LOVED the songs featured on these!
My mom got this for me and my siblings to learn and sing along. It honestly helped me with everything when I was younger. Now if we can find them...
1:26 A good 20 years of listening to these songs, and I only JUST got the "Elias, Howe?" joke.
"Elias, how?"
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHHAHHA
i get it too
I know. It's a great name.
I don't get it......
shoutout to school House Rock for helping me understand Elementary History
you know you're desperate when you use schoolhouse rock for a high school assignment junior year...
I gotta know the context for that remark.
Sarah Howard They invented the airplane but there is some things in the airplane that other people invented
I was doing a research paper on the Wright brothers. I got stuck at one point and was so desperate for anything. Somehow I got an 8 out of 9 in the end
Sarah Howard me 2
The struggle is real
We played this in my Social Studies and Science class last year, and all of the guys wouldn't stop saying "Mother Necessity, where would we be?" until the end of the school year. Everybody in my class was doing that by the time it got to about three months, but I waited till like there was only 3 weeks of school was left, so that was fun XD.
I learned from school house rock at a preschool age. Our children need this on television today instead of all the nonsense on there now.
I agree...but they don't care about the youth anymore...shame
I AGREE!
Thank God for Schoolhouse Rock. It helped me get that A in Social Studies
this is one is one of my favorites ever because world is history is my favorite subject
This is a classic. Those singers did beautifully. They should have collaborated together
0:11 you can really tell this was made in the 70's. If this was put in a show today all hell would break loose
What an excellent application of...
ELECTRICITY, E-LEC-TRI-CI-TY
What an excellent application for ELECTRICITY, ELECTRICITY!
America Rock is AWESOME!!!! Without it, It would be hard for me to memorize the D.I.
1:27 Ahh…! See what they did there?
Elias Howe is the inventor and pioneer of the sewing machine. He tells his mother, Polly Howe, he'll fulfill her fondest wishes, and she asks, "Elias, how?"
aaaahhh.....
SEGASister Lol Elias Howe?
Bruh_itsAri XD [nod]
Edison simply marketed a design that 22 men had previously worked on. Thomas Edison made the lightbulb sellable.
Boi you know it’s bad when it took me 13 years after hearing this to realize they’re all making inventions with their mothers involved
AWESOME video!
*(NUMBER 20):* ♪♪ "Mother Necessity", where would you be? ♪♪ Oh, about Number 20!
RIP MR JACK SHELDON
I like that one but my favorites the shot heard round the world
As groanworthy as it is, I still laugh every time I hear that "Elias, How?" pun.
I love this video because it was the first schoolhouse rock video she showed us.
I remember watching all of these in 5th grade!
They really got everyone in this song. I can hear it now.
Wait till y'all find out Thomas Edison did not create the light bulb...
Guys it was a kids show so what if it's not accurate just get over it and let it go
I can't name the planets without singing Interplanet Janet >~
Planets? They're MERCURY, VENUS, EARTH, MARS, JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS, and NEPTUNE - PLUTO was ONCE on this list, but has NOT been for some time
Note Essra Mohawk's singing beginning at 2:06. She rules!
2:19 that screech for Orville & Wilbur was always my favorite part!
Favorite Schoolhouse Rock song.
0:11 Boy that aged great.
Another Paramount sound effects, the screeching one this time when the horse stopped.
Edison: Pioneer of Douchebaggery
Radio is the greatest thing an Italian did since the Romans. Excluding food
He sent dit dit dit dit.
It was a Canadian who first transmitted voice.
2:05 I love this part
I thought I was the only one who got the Elias Howe pun.
ring me on the alexander grahm bell 1:45
But of course...good ears! That's Essra Mohawk who also sings "Interjections" & "Sufferin' Till Suffrage."
Practically every one of these people are famous for just improving pre-existing inventions, not inventing them.
Don't forget of Telsa.
1:38 THEY SHOULD ADD THIS! "Good answer, you're running along free!"
Good job!
2:10 They should add this as well! "Shh, don't you keep wailing. Try again."
Incorrect!
well that escalated quickly
Why did my history teacher make me watch this
I once heard Samuel Morse described as the first internet software engineer.
Did the mother of Douglas Engelbart complain about having to remember and type in a bunch of cryptic commands at her computer terminal?
SOME MUCH HISTORY HA HA HA I KNOW THIS PEOPLE I KNOW MOTHER NECESSITY
Steve Jobs is the Tomas Edison of our generation
I’m currently studying for a test tomorrow... haven’t watched this since sixth grade 🤨
Some of the information on this video is inaccurate. For example, Henry Ford did not INVENT the automobile. There are many people responsible for inventing various forms of combustion engines over the years as far back as 1769!

Henry Ford IS however responsible for starting mass production and sales of combustion engine cars around the beginning of the 20th century.
+smalltownman73 Also Edison never invented the lightbulb.
Also, Marconi never came up with the radio. Tesla did.
heming lu He put the theory into practice, while Tesla made some theories, wanting to build something with sound waves. Like how Marconi did.
2:07-2:13 Wright Bros.
actually it's 2:05
Steve jobs was the modern Thomas Edison unfortunately passed away in 2011.
Most modern inventors are forced to sell the patent rights to their employer for one dollar.
Whatever you do DO NOT look at Mother Necessity's bottom at 2:00
Too funny.
QUICK! Invent the Cotton Gin before they find out how they got the cotton!!!!
I've seriously been laughing about this comment all day!
Where would we be if J.P. Morgan had not cut Tesla’s funding?
You mean the guy that asked Tesla where they would put the meters for free energy from the atmosphere?
Actually, besides Steve Wozniak's stuff, Apple really didn't "invent" that much.
tesla came up with the idea for the light bub edison improved on it and made it what it is today
TheJoshman156 Edison stole it, like he did with many of tesla's inventions #teamtesla #edisonwasacuck
Tesla also invented the Radio. Edison wasn't an inventor. He took other peoples ideas and developed them. Tesla originally worked for Edison, but when Edison refused to pay him he quit. Then went into competition with Edison.
Edison bought the patent for the electric light bulb from two Canadians.
Definitely using this as a source in my paper on the industrial revolution. University professors accept Schoolhouse Rock for credit, right?
I really wish that people know at least now that Edison ripped off Nikola Tesla and stole his invention. Now I know this was made in the 70's but I really hope that people have there facts straight now in the 21st century and give Tesla some credit!
And Edison bought the patent for the electric light.
Elijah Mccoy
I like everyone to know that it takes two "Rights" to make an airplane. I thought I let you know.
Ok people, let's be fair on this. As woefully inaccurate as this segment is, give them a break, it's for kids. Let them work out all the kinks and stuff when they're in high school or something.
i will make a time traveler in the fucher
Hamilton would be proud .o.
Ummmmmm *cough* Nikola Tesla *cough*
he didn't invent electricity or light bulbs and neither did Edison.
jojotheclown yeppers
Thank you! He may not have actually invented the lightbulb, but he certainly did some work on it, and come on, AC works
Ring de aregey Alexander Graham Bell,thank you Alexander for the Phone.
What about Garrett Morgan
And this is how we ended up with the Ipad
My school is putting this play on in a week .......it's falling apart......reply to this with some hints to help...we have until Thursday of next week
wrong others invented it he improved it and patented the new improvements Tesla> Edison and Marconi did't "invent" the radio he copied about 60 of Tesla's patens and the paten was awarded to Tesla. Henry Ford didn't invent the car either or the assembly line he went to court to get the paten on the car overturned and used a technique he saw in another factory look it up...
why does she suddenly have soul with the wright brothers?
What about the man who invented the air conditioner? the traffic light? the lawn mower? the clothes dryer? Not to mention the man who invented the filament that goes in the light bulb? Or are you saving that for "Black History Rock?" Just askin'.
*insert exclamation about how Edison stole from Tesla here*
Henry Ford did not invent the automobile. And Bell did not invent the telephone.
Internet search the name; Joseph Swann
Alexander Graham Bell did not actually invent the telephone he stole the idea.
Edison didn't invent the light bulb
No, but made it better.
HELLO!
haiiii :3
It's not just for kids. The current alleged President could use a set of Schoolhouse Rock videos. So easy for many of you to sell these people short, but you forget that they did their INDIVIDUAL research under adverse conditions and most others telling them, "That will never work."

Sorry I accidentally used improper grammer... I'm tired...
Edison ripped off Nicola Tesla's inventions..
Chompingsharks Bell stole the phone design from a poor man who was trying to get money to make it real.
Bell didn't really steal the phone design from Antonio Meucci. He just made it a different form, plus he got to the patent office first.
Edison bought the patent for the electric light bulb.
Airplane is invented from france
did any one notis after she answers the phone when she sits back down her butt is the only thing that moves
what
How innaurcte is this
she is way to old to have thomas edison as a son
sadly, no Tesla
Except that Edison would probably be in another room, bullying Nikola Tesla, and Tesla would say that he owed him 50,000 dollars.
Like, literally all of these are either incorrect or misleading.
They have to dumb it down for the target audience. Especially since we don't use most of these things anymore.
Kyle Stubbs I think that there's a difference between "dumbing it down" and "teaching kids wrong information".
Okay then, What wasn't true? Educate me.

O
Capitalism ftw
@kevin willems what you mean? This song was basically pointing out how capitalism leads to progress. There was a demand, and the inventors supplied.
@kevin willems I dont know why you dont just put your separate points into different paragraphs so I'm just gonna respond in 1 reply.
I know the setting of the inventors in the song is a bit off, like how Morse invented telecommunication because of his dead wife, or how the cotton gun was invented for black slaves to use and not the white man as shown in the video, but this video is for kids and when they grow up they will see the bigger and detailed picture.

Anyways, I don't see how paying your workers is exploitation. Like, if you think the pay is too low, then you can either work harder for more money, or get a mew job. Like, I guess not everyone could own a yacht or a private jet, but most people are fine with having a humble home and the possessions they can afford. As long as workers are getting paid, it's a symbiosis.

Hey I like this show
Okay
