horror story: The guy who first invented the phone got a strange call...he was the only one who owned it at the time which made it strange..no one else had the phone but him
That was probably his wife, who found the spare and wanted to know what that contraption was. 😂
@@presidentkiller it wasnt, she didnt find it till a week after that incident
Is that true or a creepy pasta? 😅
its true. but he never answered it and left it as he got too disturbed. @@dagmarbeeke6163
so no one knows who called.
Brussel Sprouts HAVE changed!!! About thirty years ago a variety was accidentally bred that tasted quite a bit less like dirty socks, so they picked up traction and gained favor. If you think that Brussel sprouts don't taste as awful as you remember as a kid, it might not be so much aging taste buds as it is the change in their taste.
There was also an early cordless TV remote that used ultrasonic sound to control the set. My parents told me that jingling some keys would sometimes change the channel due the the sound in part mimicking the sound frequencies used by the remote!
A roommate of mine had one of those old TVs that had that remote. It was a neat purely mechanical gizmo. Each button would strike a rod that while making a sound one could hear (which is where the term "clicker" for a remote originated), it was an ultrasonic frequency the TV responded to. In a way, it was superior to many modern remotes, as it never needed batteries and didn't have to be pointed at the TV as is normally the case with an IR remote.
@@lonniemcclure4538 thanks for the more detailed explanation I never knew that it was simply mechanical, you learn something every day! I also once had a mains socket adapter that turned whatever was plugged into it on/off using an ultrasonic squeezy whistle thing, a bit like a dog toy, but you couldn’t hear it have you ever seen something like that?
@@danisaac - I haven't seen it myself, but it sounds like (no pun intended) it would be far less subject to accidental activation than The Clapper.
I had one of these, it was from Zenith. Mom saw it sitting out in someone's yard in the rain. We went and got it, I let it dry out overnight, it still worked! Even the remote!
I remember these. I had forgotten the click sound. I guess I'm getting old.
Love these types of videos! My Mom used to work as a switchboard operator for Bell Telephone! She said she hated how the headset would mess up her hair 😅. I never knew the story of the London Bridge. That was pretty cool!
My mom worked for United Telephone back in the switchboard days. She eventually rose to station manager and we kids (as teens then) could visit her at work. It was fascinating to watch the ladies plugging away, literally, at the boards so fast and smoothly! This was back in the 1970's.
@@terriwetz6077 yup late 60’s for my mom!
Same!
The legend says he thought he was buying tower bridge (this was false, he knew what he was getting). There is also part of the pedestrian approach to the bridge still in London.
I am a sucker for good origin stories and how things came to be. Thanks be amazed .
In the UK, we took Perambulator, and shortned it to Pram, though that only applied to the crib on wheels style, the chair on wheels we call a Pushchair
Here in Australia Pram is Pram (both the crib on wheels and the Pushchair is a Pram, we're very lazy here in oz)
Funny thing to know, in the Netherlands, we both celebrate still Saint Nicholas as the person for the poor, only then in childs variant, looking similar to helloween, on the 11th of November. Also we do celebrate "Sinterklaas" wich is something similar to Saint Nicholas on the 5th of December and we do celebrate christmas with santa claus on the 25th and 26th of December. 4 Days a year there is a way to have the celebrate Saint Nicholas.
Nice!
When I was a kid I had a B&W portable TV with the manual channel changer in my bedroom. I would watch the TV while laying on my bed. It became a pain having to get up to change the channels. So, I invented my own remote. I got a broomstick and a wooden clothes pin. I attached the clothes pin on the end of the broomstick. Laying on my bed I would slide the clothes pin over the channel knob and turn the broomstick. It worked.
I like how he put all his different intros over the years
yeah. 6:21
which one's your favorite? 👀
The new one
@@BeAmazed is cool
the 3rd one

The first remote control channel changer that I saw actually changed the channel physically. That's right, you would hit the channel selector on the remote and a chain device would physically turn the channel knob. This was in about 1963. It didn't last long because technology produced the light sensors and the frequency detectors to change channels. But I still remember the clicking sound of the mechanical channel changer.
So that’s proof you were alive back then.
@@MatthewConnellan-xc3oj A lot of us were, LOL!! 😂
My dad loved his tv channel changer. It was my little brother, Mikey.
I'm old enough to remember the remote being called 'the clicker' , once in a while I slip up and still refer to it by that name.
Of course. I'm 74 years old!@@MatthewConnellan-xc3oj
Honestly the earlier versions were good way to start off improving what we have today

According to my knowledge the telephone got improved by Alexander Graham Bell, but not invented by him.
Inventors of the transmission of sound waves through copper wires by using electricity were Johann Philipp Reis and Antonio Meucci

Also Manhattan was originally smaller. A lot of the water front is landfill. It's gotten to the point where the constriction of the Hudson river is causing problems.

About the telephone's metamorphosis, why did you skip over the much more revolutionary invention of the basic cell phone? THAT was the change that mattered. The first time people were completely free to use their phone almost anywhere (limited by country or even my region depending on the carrier) was a much bigger break through than the "smart" phone, which was only a refinement of the cell phone. The first cell phones were invented in 1973 and were available for sale in 1983. They were huge things, as big as walkie-talkie. Also car phones, for some reason were first invented in 1946 because they were a hybrid of walkie-talkies.
Also regular landline phones have been mostly the same for the last 50 years, precisely because their development shifted to the mobile phone. The only major changes landlines saw during all this time were going from rotary to button dials, becoming wireless, and from using copper-based cables to fiber-optics.
@@presidentkiller Absolutely correct! I recently saw a landline phone on sale and it was the exact same one I used to own many years ago. No change in design, features or colors.
Gros Michel bananas are still grown, albeit not on a large scale, and researchers are developing disease-resistant strains of it
Growing up *I* was the remote control.😂 I would be called from my room even to do so. 😂😂
I learned that the Statue of Liberty originally looked copper way back in the early to mid 1980's, when my fourth grade class went to see it. They were repairing the environmental damage from the century of pollution and water exposure. You literally could not see the upper levels of the statue. And we weren't able to ascend to the top, we could only get to the top of the pedestal.
The original Statue of Liberty is still standing on an isle (Ile aux Cygnes) at the Seine in Paris.
The USA just got an oversized Copy. 🙂😛
This Generation don’t know 🤦
Really?😃.cool. thank u.
@@MS-cx7nf that is backwards. The one in the US is the original. The one you speak of was given as a gift from the US to France 3 years after the one they gave us.
@@RetroTeddyBear No it's not backwards. The Statue of Liberty the USA got is modelled after the smaller original in Paris.
The original Model got created 1875, then the French created the big one that is standing in America today, gifted by the French in 1886.
I don't know whom told you otherwise, but he didn't told you the truth.
Today there are actually 4 Statues of Liberty in Total. 3 in Paris and the Big one in the US. One of the three in PAris is in a museum and two other ones placed in Paris.
I remember one of the best features of the flip phone was the ability to type text messages without looking at the phone. I would just have to do a quick proofread before hitting send (darn auto-correct).
It makes me feel old cause in my early teens I remember flip phones being the coolest thing around. And if you had a razor phone you were automatically considered the coolest lol
The flip phones is able to thrived in the Star Trek universe.
This is due that technology like touchscreen weren't able to hit on the market because of Eugenic Wars and WW3.

It's honestly so weird to see things change over time yet you can still understand what they are
The one thing that did change was ceiling fans because they stated in 1882 by German inventor Phillip Diehl

Our first TV remote was my younger brother, and the second (for a colour TV!) worked with ultrasound.
Fun fact about McDonalds: the og restaurant was run by two brothers who changed the layout of their restaurant for more streamlined production and would sell tours for like 600 bucks. Other restaurants like Burger King and Taco Bell bought tours to get ideas of how to layout their kitchens. The brothers didn’t want to franchise but a man named ray crock (no relation to the shoe idt) and eventually bought the brothers out other than their og restaurant that eventually went under.
Bell supposedly bribed the patent office to make his patent legal first.
Interesting fact (as well as sad), the reason Christmas is in December and it’s called Yule tide, is because Christians took a pagan holiday and made it their own by claiming it was the birth of Jesus and forced people who still practiced the pagan holiday to abandon thousand years of tradition for their own bs religion. Some people still force their beliefs on others and force those who don’t believe to “do as your told.” 😅I’m rambling but yeah, Christmas is originally a pagan holiday…your welcome, Karen. Now stop hitting me with your book.
And still getting mad at people for not celebrating it and other "holidays".
@@chasb3234 at least from my experience in a christian church, yes. some people are just demented. I don't what your skin color is, your sexual orientation, religion, if your acting like an ass, I'm going to treat you like an ass.

My grandma still has Gros Michel banana on her farm. They are very sweet.
How do they compare to “standard” bananas?
@@bklyrical let's just say all older folks refuse to buy "standard" banana. I normally get gros michel from her and freeze them to.make my banana bread as it taste completely different. I can even add less sugar.
There's more story behind the man who bought London bridge
He mistook it for tower bridge when he agreed to buy it and was confused when he was directed to the small stone bridge instead of the massive towers

CORRECTION: No one was ever buried in the Pyramids, because they weren’t tombs.
well, they weren't for grain storage or UFO refueling either lol
@@The_Blazement, I never said they were, but there is one theory, that is rather old, which says they could’ve been used for power generation.
but there were several Egyptian Pharoahs buried there 🤯🤷♀️🤷♀️
@@gloria88246, BUT not in the Pyramids, because the Pyramids weren’t tombs.

Lady liberty was originally meant to be a Muslim peasant woman and to stand at the Suez canal being an example of Egypt bringing light to asia. Egypt refused the gift due to the expense and it was reworked into what we know today.
the remote control started its life in photography in the 1840s A simple wire push-rod.
We still celebrate Saint Nicholas on December 6th in Romania. Tradition is, evening on December 5th, kids need to clean their shoes and arrange them neatly so that Saint Nicholas would come and leave gifts in your shoes [usually sweets and fruit] if you've been good or a stick if you've been bad. I still like that tradition today, as a grown up!
Makes the pun, "Goat-cart" then tops it off with a sheeps bleat. Why am I not surprised.😆
"Little terrors"...nailed it. And yes, I have one of my own. She's 18 this year. I love her with all my heart and soul. Wouldn't change having her, but I'm damn happy I only had one!
Brussel sprouts taste a bit less like fart got me laughing
It’s true that copper changes color over years
Oxidation changes the color of literally everything over time. The only reason pennies aren't green is because they're handled so frequently.
@@UpperDarbyDetailingand cleaning copper can be satisfying as well
@@PorterTheFanCollector definitely. I really enjoy polishing. I can put my headphones in and just groove for hours turning a dull car shiny. Very therapeutic. I cast and polish metal too, copper, brass, aluminum... It's all fun.
@@UpperDarbyDetailing - I remember when I was young (when pennies were still mostly copper), one would sometimes see pennies with some green oxidation. These days (starting in 1982), with pennies being mostly zinc with very little copper, there is little copper left to oxidize.
@@lonniemcclure4538 that's true too.

Telephone was invented by Italian Antonio Meucci, that's official
I remember the first TV remote we had was most often referred to as a clicker. It was from Zenith and had big buttons lined up. Three white and one orange. The first button was channel down. The second was volume and mute. The third was an orange power button. The fourth was channel up. It was just a square piece of plastic the size of a deck of cards with four big clicking buttons protruding.
There is a portion of this that goes back from old Santa Claus. He used to wear green, as well as many other colors. Putting candy and treats inside the shoes of those left outside during the night.
I was surprised when it came to remote control he didn't just show a kid. That's what I was growing up in the 80s. LOL
They already made Brussels sprouts let's disgusting by removing the smell for it and you want more?
Ah yes, Ikea, ABBA and meatballs, the three things my country is best known for. We Swedes are used to the stereotypes and memes. There's also Volvo, Saab, Scania, stealthy weapons and military vehicles, several super famous metal bands, Spotify and the oh so horrible fermented herring. We Swedes do have a food item called surströmming, or fermented herring. I haven't tasted it, or smelled the stench, but boy is it's smell memed beyond it's own good, but apparently it tastes good. One of my older sisters tasted it, and it apparently tastes good. We also have semlor, or semlas, a type of sweet that consists of a bun, whipped cream and marsip or whatever the English word for marsipan is. Sweden has words that doesn't really exist anywhere else. We also have the word lagom.
The English word for marsipan is marzipan.
Oh damn must be nice to have sabaton so close to u
It’s a heavy metal band my favourite
@@kaisun4867 i know who they are
Sambon har sagt en gång att en som jag jobbar med ibland (han har jobbat där innan jag började) hade med sig surströmming till jobbet en gång och lagt in den i ugnen som står på låg värme fram till lunch (jobbar på daglig verksamhet och de flesta har plåtlåda) och såvitt jag förstod fick hon inte sitta i matsalen och äta för det luktade såå äckligt jag tror inte ens hon fick ta med sig det någonsin igen
I will also write this in English so be amazed understands if he reads it (I don't think he will but still)
My significant other once told me that a co worker I work with sometimes once had "surströmming" in her lunchbox and put it in the oven that is on on a low temperature until lunchtime (I work in a place where people with for example autism or downs syndrome don't know if you have that or what it's called for you and most of them has a lunch box made of tin have no idea if I used the right translation for it) and from what I know she wasn't allowed to sit in the dining room to eat (once again not sure if I wrote the right translation) cuz no one liked the smell and I don't think she was allowed to take that with her again
My parents bought me a Zenith remote controlled 13' television, while I had measles in the late '50s. It was a long plastic tube, with a bellows device, that changed the channels!

the chihuahuas were wolves 😂😂😂😂 i say that all the time too that one got me! great humor and info, brother! Keep uo the great work!
No wonder they are so aggressive 🤣🤣😂😂
Just an fyi, the only reason Bell gets the credit for the telephone is b/c he patented it first, but he stole the idea from Meucci (who's picture you showed btw) who couldn't speak English (he was Italian) and didn't have the funds to patent it. But in 2002 Congress recognized Meucci as a creator of the telephone. I just think he deserves his due. "Rant" over.
I love using old-fashioned objects. Hence, I shave with a straight razor and write with fountain pens and dip pens.
Santa was also always in green but Coca-Cola’s marketing department changed it using artistic license.
We had one of the first wireless remotes. Monday my mom came home and found a TV in the bedroom on. We eventually figured out that when our dog jumped up on the bed, her tags jingling together made the TV come on.
Thank you be amazed... Your videos help me get through the day love and respect to y'all and everyone watching! Your all Amazing!!!
You didn't mention how many time the Statue of Liberty's torch changed.
London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down... yeah there's a clue there 😂
My great aunt, a proper cockney, worked at the tower bridge lost property department for 40 years, I remember as a kid, late 70's early 80's we all had amazing fancy umbrellas that had not been claimed 😂
Bell did not create the telephone it was Antonio Meucci. Graham Bell just patented the idea and mass produced it.
Close a fucking nough..
The twerking Victorian graphic cracked me up!! 😂😂 Never change, Be Amazed! 💚💚

My 9th great grandfather was one of the Dutch who first arrived at New Amsterdam. He ended up in the Connecticut militia. He fought with the Naragansette tribe against the Pequots. He became a founder of Norwich, CT.
I remember, even as late as the early eighties, my parents buying a new television that you still had to physically walk to the T.V. to turn it on and off, with a knob, the remote only having four buttons. (chan up, chan down, vol up, vol down.)
Remember when video game controllers were just a joystick and button on the Atari?
Pong. I loved pong.
None of these originally designs surprised me given the fact that I am excellent at history

The outfit Santa Claus wears today was produced by Coca-Cola for an advert
Very true, the more traditional (modern) Santa wore more green. But everything is different depending on where and who you ask questions to.

The problem with bananas is that we grow them by cloning making them genetically identical meaning if something can infect 1 tree it can infect them all, it's the same issue that wiped out the older banana, somehow we didn't learn from the mistakes of the past

I'm sorry, but Gros Michel bananas still exist. we have so many varieties of banana in the caribbean. And i'm sure there are even more in SE Asia. Also, Gros Michel is a considerably larger banana than cavendish, and found less favour with housewives in the UK
Zenith also used tuning fork sound waves in TV remotes from the 1960s-1980s in their Space Command line, finally replaced by battery requiring infrared.
