This is my reaction to What The Dutch Are Know For
In this video I react to things that the Netherlands is known for, in terms of their inventions and innovations which include Wifi, Bluetooth, CD's and the telescope.
Original Video - • What The Dutch Are Kno...
The Dutch anthem is now the official Formula 1 finish song, they almost always play it
meh, last race before today, they accidentally put on the wrong ones. It almost created an international inchident...
@@mavadelo nah, the Dutch are not that Nationalistic. It's all good, as long as they can party. Play some EDM, some DJ Tiësto, Armin van Buuren or Martin Garrix.
@@ewoutbuhler5217 I guess you missed the joke.
Let's not discuss how "nationalistic" the Dutch are, that only leads to trouble in the comments.
@@mavadelo 🤣🤣 Nah did not miss is.
Wahaahaahahaha!
We had the first stock exchange in 1602, the carrot is orange because of the Dutch, four wheel drive is a Dutch invention, Submarine is Dutch,hardcore electronic music, cocoapowder and modern chocolate .fairtrade cerifiction.and so much more
While the rest are all true, carrots being orange because of the royals is actually most likely a fake connection that just found its way into history books because reasons. Orange carrots because of Dutch royals is actually more likely to be one of the earliest meme's in "modern" day, there is actually zero record of Dutch people cultivating carrots to be orange (while we totally do log everything) and orange carrots have been discovered much further back in historic records etc 😂🤷♂
now some scots will be pissed off but golf derived from the dutch word kolf. a rude form of it was played here long before it became golf.
@@suicidalbanananana that is bullshit, the are bread orange here
@@suicidalbanananana Yeah, I've also heard there's serioius doubts about the orange carrot story.
Mierikswortel was white they cross breed it to created Orange carrot @@gertvanderstraaten6352
I had an American pen pal in the late 1980's. It was set up by our teacher to improve our English skills. I got along with this kid fine, though he must have figured we were stuck in the Middle Ages, asking things like if we had a telephone or if I knew what McDonalds was. I dealt with it, until in one letter, he wrote he'd gotten a new CD player for his birthday. He then continued to explain,in great detail, exactly what a CD player was.
I had enough. I wrote him a very short letter back. It only had two sentences: "The CD player was actually invented in my home town, idiot. I've had mine for four years."
Funny, I never heard back from him.again.
That made me laugh so hard. Your pen pal got to experience our efficient Dutch communication skills! It's mind boggling how others perceive us. Don't even have to go abroad, people in Amsterdam truly believe we down south have dirt roads, and cows running loose. (and think we're Belgian, despite me speaking in proper Dutch)
Like, really? We got ASML here (which at one point was a Philips company, same with NXP). Go home. :')
Eindhoven de gekste!

If it ain’t Dutch, it ain’t much
that's right..!!!
And as finishing touch, God created the Dutch. 🇳🇱😉
Not to be too proud of, but us Dutchies can curse at you for two minutes without using a curse word twice.
and at least half of them are some form of deceases
@@AmatMN, there are parts of our beautiful country where indeed they use a lot of those illnesses.

Willem Kolff (1911-2009), son of a physician, studied medicine in Leiden and specialised in internal medicine in Groningen. It was there that he started attempts to apply the phenomenon of dialysis in patients suffering from renal failure. He built the first prototypes of dialysis machines
Never forget the Golden Rule: do not underestimate the Dutch.
The American Declaration of independence is also largely based upon the Dutch "Plakkaat van Verlatinghe" and copied parts of it. Ours was written in 1581. The Volkswagen Transporter is also a Dutch idea and we could go on for a while
The frist radio broadcasting in the world was by Hanso Idserda in 1919 The Hague a dutchman born in Friesland(north of the Netherlands).
Look at ASML. That is now the most important company in the world. It is also Dutch and has its origins with Philips. Without ASML now no good chips for your phone, cars, and so on. Also war industry. USA and China are fighting for ASML's influence. The food is also big in the Netherlands. The video: How the Dutch feeding the world is interesting. 2 topics what happen now this days.
While still based in the Netherlands and largely Dutch owned it is hardly just a Dutch endeavour. ASML relies on many, many partners and scientists around the globe.
@forkless That's true. But it was born in the Netherlands. That's what this reaction is about. Wifi is now also not only Dutch. I live in Veldhoven. The first language is English, not Dutch. But that's the case with all companies. Apple is American, but there are a lot of Asian people and companies involved. German cars also many Japanese/Korean companies.
@@forklessThe same goes for the car industry in Germany! Designed in Germany and utmost assembled in Germany. Almost all the parts are bought, not manufactured in Germany. The Netherlands manufactures a great part of the car parts for the German car industry!
@@forkless No it is Dutch
@@commandbrawler9348 Did I claim otherwise?
artificial kidney invented by Professor Willem Johan Kolff
And the artificial pancreas. Still in its testing days, but getting there. Invented in the rural parts of the Netherlands, but it’s gonna be a biggy…
@@jeroenbritsia I wouldn't call the city of Kampen exactly rural.
Yup, in Kampen during WWII.
Dutch invented large scale land reclamation from the sea. The end goal is to drain the Channel and surprise the Brits one fine morning.

The crankshaft! It transformed a spinning movement into up and down. So windmills could be used as sawmills. Speeding up the making of ships thirty (30!) fault. And while Norwegian and Swedish ship builders walked through a forest selecting trees they wanted, the Dutch said 'We want it!' What? Well the entire forest, chop it all down and we'll pick it up.
By keeping the trees in water (sea at first, harbor next) in big floating packs, the sugary resin was dissolved, and after drying for a few weeks, entire tree trunks would go through the sawmill into evenly thick, straight, planks. The first industrial revolution!
In a sense yes, shipbuilding got industrialized in the sense of production lines and standardized parts. The resulting dominance of all European trade, the Dutch had more merchant ships than the rest of Europe combined, spurred the development of the idea of free trade, mare liberum, maritime law and international law in general.

Invented in the town I live in, by Cornelis Corneliszoon uit Uitgeest.
See the windmills in de Zaanse Schans 😉
Crankshaft also made bicycles possible, and yes, the steam and internal combustion engines.
The Dutch invented the worlds first marine corps. The USMC is a copy and modified version of the Dutch for example.
The British were one year earlier, but the Dutch were the first to operate with them at Chatham.

Wasn't it Anthony van Leeuwenhoek (also a dutchman) who invented the microscope? Somebody please clear this up!
Yes. They mentioned it being invented by a Dutchman, but not his name.
No it turns out Anthony van Leeuwenhoek was the first to use the microscope the way we use it today and documente his findings.
De Van Leeuwenhoekmicroscoop was een speciaal vergrootglas met één lens. De samengestelde microscoop met twee lenzen werd waarschijnlijk uitgevonden door Sacharias Jansen of diens vader Hans; hij zou omstreeks 1595 de eerste microscoop hebben gebouwd. (wikipedia)

6:34 _"…in 1982, the first CD…"_
Fun fact… the hole in a CD _(and DVD)_ is the size of a _"dubbeltje"_ the smallest coin, with a value of 10 (gilder) cents.
I kept a "dubbeltje" from the year 1975, my birth year. I have it in a frame on the wall, inside the hole of a CD.
How on earth did you read the comment I was writing, and post it just a bit earlier than me ;-)
" _6:35__ Fun fact; The hole in the CD is the exact size of a Dutch 10-cent coin. Of course, this is a coin predating the Euro. I heard a story this coin was used on a prototype as the spindle. And the size stuck. I don't know for sure if this is a true story, but I tried and it does fit so snugly, it hardly is a coincidence_ "
@@fiskurtjorn7530 Because of the secret reason that The Dutch invented the science behind the art of mind reading.
_Nah… probably not._
But it was a fun-fact, right? 😇
😎
Also, I interviewed Frits Philips _(from the Philips company)_ a long time ago.
Well, I was the camera operator. But we spent 3 days with the man. He actually told us this story at one of the diners we had with him.
In Eindhoven _(The Philips city in The Netherlands)_ we had one of the interviews at the Evoluon, some cool Philips (and science) museum that looks like a UFO.
The interview went sluggish. Frits kept being distracted by all the things he saw, that his company created… including that CD.
Copyright strike 🤣🤣🤣
Not true. A dubbeltje is way too big to ever fit in the tiny hole of a cd.
Elstar apple is from the village Elst in Gelderland. The region is called Betuwe, famous for growing fruit and flowers. During the WW2 the region was called Market Garden.
Aha hence the name Operation Market Garden for the failed attempt to liberate the northern half of the Netherlands in WW2.
First stock exchange-in the world was founded in Amsterdam also the first country with a company that had shareholders called the VOC
The first stock exchange actually came about because the VOC saw much more possibilites than anticipated and wanted to reinvest any profit instead of paying dividends. The initial shareholders were often very modest people who put some of their savings into shares to make a buck while helping to fight the enemy, Spain and Portugal. The VOC went primarily to Asia to take the independence war to the enemy there.
These modest people, maids, carpenters for example, couldn't wait for the dividends but if they could sell their share they would have a handsome ROI anyway. So the shares were sold on the stock exchange mostly by modest people to the richest people who could wait it out. It would take the VOC up ot 1633, 31 years therefore to pay it's first dividend to the shareholders.
as a DUTCH .. i am just proud ..to being DUTCH !.
Oh and don't forget the planetary of eise Eisinga still running on time after hundreds of years
Such a great work by Eise Eisinga. A must see for tourists and Dutchies!
The Royal Eise Eisinga Planetarium is the oldest continuously operating planetarium in the world (18th century) and is UNESCO World Heritage.
Eisinga inspired many people. Maybe also professor Ewine van Dishoeck, who has been involved with the James Webb Space Telescope from the beginning in 1997.
NOVA 🇳🇱 build the heart of MIRI (one of the four instruments of the Webb telescope).
The James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) is the successor of Hubble and is the most powerful telescope nowadays (NASA, ESA, CSA).
One of the four scientific instruments on board is MIRI (the Mid InfraRed Instrument). Unlike the other scientific instruments aboard, MIRI has not been designed and built by space agencies NASA and ESA, but by an international consortium of institutes. (European institutes from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom).
The Netherlands (Ewine van Dishoeck i.g.) developed and built the heart of the MIRI Spectrometer, a hall of mirrors that operates at an extremely low temperature of 6 Kelvin (-267 Celsius). The Optical Infrared Group of The Netherlands Research School for Astronomy (NOVA) was responsible for this, and there were contributions from TNO, ASTRON, SRON and dozens of Dutch companies.

Artificial heart and heart-lung machine often used during cardiac operations, also a Dutch invention by Willem Johan Kolff is probably the most significant one because it saved tens if not hundreds of millions of lives all over the world.
the netherlands technically invented EDM as well. look up Popular Electronics: Early Dutch Electronic Music From Philips Research Laboratories 1956-1963. we technically created modern day electronic music.
Kid Baltan in the 1950's and Poème électronique late 50's are in my opinion the very first examples of electronic music.
Jaap Haartsen was working for a Swedish company with a bunch of non-Dutch people, called Ericsson, which started the project for short-range radio communication for wireless headphones in 1989, which would become Bluetooth. So i wouldn't exactly regard Bluetooth as a Dutch invention. Yes one of the primary developers was Dutch, but the company he worked for and led part of the development for was Swedish, it's literally why it's called Bluetooth, ironically the name of a Danish king, but one that united modern southern Sweden, Norway and Denmark. The Bluetooth logo is Harald Blåtands bind rune (first letter of first and last name combined).
It would make little sense for the Dutch culturally to go that far into something that doesn't really have much to do with them.
And yet he became a Miljonair, how did he do that? Haartsen even is in the National Inventors Hall Of Fame, he developed the specification. So he is the guy who invented Bluetooth, no one else...And yes he developed the specifications working at Ericsson.
@@pbloemerit all really depends how you look at things. If we look at it your way, the cassette tape was not invented by the dutch, but by Belgians working for Philips in hasselt. I dont really care who claims it, if the context is explained correctly. We all stand on the shoulders of giants.
@@MotherGoose264 there is a difference in employment. If you are an employee working for Philips and you are paid a salary then the invention is in the name of the company. If you are self-employed and did all the development yourself then the invention is on your own name. At Philips it is usually a team effort, you can not say it is a Belgian invention because someone from Belgium has worked on it.
@@MotherGoose264 Belgians are Dutch
@@TheSuperappelflapwow, i wouldnt go that far😂 lets not take the argument to insulting each other😂
My first cd was by a Dutch band, Urban Dance Squad.
Urban Dance Squad? sounds very Dutch LOL. The Dutch back then did not have things Urban and dancing is not really a dutch thing.
@@computerjantje It's one of the first bands to combine rock with rap. They were pretty big for a while.
@@gertvanderstraaten6352 combine rock with rap? You mean they talk through the music? Like disc jockeys from the old days :)
@@computerjantje more like a VERY big influence on a dude they call Zack de la Rocha. No U.D.S. no R.A.T.M.
A lot is mentioned in the list….extremely important ones like lightbulb, submarine etc. So I can only mention the CVT transmission by DAF.
No, the first CVT is from around 1867, long before Van Doorne was born. It was in the machining industry, if I remember correctly. There were even some British and American cars with CVT before the war. It is true, however, that DAF made the first reliable CVT for cars (mostly because of the small engine output).
The CVT is nothing to be proud of it's a terrible transmission.
I worked for Endemol on TV formats. Although I wasn't part of the team that came up with Big Brother, FearFactor or the Voice, I did work on Deal or No Deal. Sold in 63 countries so also a bit of a hit.
Great reactionvideo! And it makes me even more proud to be a Dutchie! Thank you for reacting to this video!
Some other things are the first submarine; cultivating carrots to get the orange colour as we know it today; electric razor; thermometer by Fahrenheit (but now most of the world including The Netherlands use Celsius); programming language Python used by Google and UA-cam; getting the map of the world onto a globe; first Stock Exchange; First multinational (VOC) and finally some sports first played in The Netherlands: Golf and Speed- / figure skating.
that carrot one is not true. its already debunked. Carrots where already orange before we had them.
Bosche Bol jonge
Carrots fake, others real, good times.
Besides python, BitTorrent is also a famous software product developed by a Dutch guy.
Map thing is the other way around, and only factually true for the most used way to project a globe on a flat surface. The Mercator-projection. Which is basically how the vast majority of world maps is shown today. But there are others.
The most recent Dutch tv show that has been picked up by other countries is ‘De Verraders’ or The Traitors as it’s known in the UK, US and Australia. It’s great!

Well, we're most known for tulips and windmills of course but we rule the planet today through ASML.
When the CD was developed by Philips there was a discussion about the size of the hole in the middle. To end the discussion a manager took out a 10ct piece and said that this would be the size of the hole. If you ever find a 10ct piece from the era of the ‘gulden’ you can check for yourself.
" If you ever find a 10ct piece from the era of the ‘gulden’ you can check" That is if you can find a dvd or cd. With all the 'dubbeltjes' kept at dutch homes I wonder which is easier to find.
@@computerjantje most non dutch people don’t know the ‘dubbeltje’. Whether one calls it a ‘dubbeltje’, ‘duppie’ or just 10ct , it still fits snug in the center hole of a cd or dvd
The airfryer! Also an Dutch invention by Philips
no it was bought from Dutch inventor.
@@arjanvanraaij8440 No it's Dutch
Hardcore. Do NOT forget Hardcore (gabber) !
The first Hardcore record was made in 1989 by a German Marc Acardipane from Frankfurt. So not Dutch. However, it has been further developed and expanded in the Netherlands. The Gabber culture did originate in the Netherlands, Gabber is someone who listens to GabberHouse (Hardcore). The term Gabber was created in 1991.
@@RAMDH Wow thanks for the info i already knew. Did you notice my addition (gabber) at the end? probably not.
@@VisitorOf22 If you already knew, why do you say that Hardcore originated in the Netherlands? smart ass
The submarine is also a Dutch invention, same for the stock market. And so much more, of course.
The most important invention was overlooked- the polder, in Noord en Zuid Holland many places are below sea level. Thanks to this even the newest province Flevoland came into being in the 20th century.
The lowest point in the Netherlands is in the Tweemanspolder in Zuid-Holland, near Moordrecht; 6.78 meters below sea level.
Water up to the third level of a house, when the dykes break.
I live on the other side of the country now, Germany is closer now, than Scheveningen was back then, and it's only about 12 meters higher 😅
Small country, big creativity. Size doesn't always matters. 😊
11:17 The inventor of the Speed Camera _(Gatso Camera)_ actually sent a bottle of champagne to Driebergen _(where the camera administration was based)_ with every ticket.
That was a nice anecdote / confession I heard a long time ago from one of the men in _Driebergen_ on the radio.
Python, a programming language, is gaining momentum already for years. Dutch invention by Guido van Rossem.
Fun fact Bluetooth is crated in my home village. i used to live about 5 minutes away from the Ericson company where jaap haartsen invented it. he worked for Ericson so he didnt got rich from it. but yeah just a fun fact.
Yeah as long as we at least get something for our efforts we're not very good at (or worried about) getting credit for our work, its because most of us just want weekend 😂😉
the microscope, the telescope, the stock exchange and the submarine are also dutch inventions
edit: the microscope and telescope were mentioned, didnt expect them to be mentioned that late in the video
Somebody said four wheel drive, that was a Spyker and the same car featured the first 6 cylinder engine and four wheel braking.
They forget the Variomatic (CVT) developed by Hub van Doorne.
1 of the founders of DAF.
Variomatics are still used by some airplanes.
And Jan Swammerdam, a biologist from Amsterdam, became the first person ever to observe red blood cells under a microscope in 1658.
Radio astronomy and the first electric vehicle concept.
At 10:45. The correct name is Maus Gatsonides, a dutch racing driver and inventor (born 1911, died 1989).
And don't forget about the Dutch innovations in agriculture. Just think about how a country as tiny as the Netherlands manages to become the 2nd largest exporter of tomatoes in the world. In 2022 the Netherlands was supplying 17.5% of the global tomato export.
I am from the Netherlands. I knew lots of inventions came from Netherlands and especially Philips. Philips invented a lot but made a mess of commercializing most of them after its birth. Philips once was a fantastic innovation company but like with their inventions they broke down their selves into a pity-full small specialized medical company that now is plagued with problems due to the only thing that is important for medical equipment: reliability. So shameful. I did not know about Wifi and BlueTooth. Thank you for the video. I LOVE your accent. I love English language accents. Scottish and Irish at my top favorite.
Best dutch inventions are the microscope and telescope. imagine science without these tools.
Nope it was the stroopwafel 😊. The best invention
@@beavischrist5ofc not the bitterbal
America is Large, The Netherlands is Great!
About the cd/dvd/blue ray discs: the hole in the middle is made to be the exact diameter of a coin called a 'dubbeltje'. Which was 10 cents from when the currency was still 'Gulden'.
Alleen Philips medewerkers weten dit haha
indeed only Philips employees know this little fact, the same holds true for the fact that a CD can contain 74 minutes of music.
@@teiwaz4028 And that was because the chairman of Sony (which co-developed the CD) wanted Beethoven's Ninth to fit onto one CD.
@@apveening I knew it was a work by Beethoven, I forgot which one thx for the reminder. And another silly fact: electronics artist KID BALTAN an anadrome of DIK NATLAB aka D. Raaijmakers
The first 'cultured meat' beef burger was created by Mark Post at the Maastricht University in 2013
I think one important invention you forgot to mention. The light bulb, it's invented in the Netherlands, and yes Thomas Alva Edison did improve it after that, so it can be used like we know it. And no Thomas Alva Edison is not Dutch he was American.
And Philips since then made many improvements to energy-saving lightbulbs.
Need more details for that claim. Who and when?
they alao used to be perfect. but then they found out that if they made them so they would expire, they could keep selling them. its not provitable if you make the perfect peoduct that never goes bad
My first CD was Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits
Don't forget the Airfryer.... Indeed a Dutch invention too...
Fred van der Weij invented and developed the Airfryer from his workshop in Almere.
More than 900 million have now been sold worldwide.
Designing a consumer product that sells almost a billion times is a unique achievement.

The modern Republic as a form of state (predating France and USA).
There's a reality TV show about (B/C tier) celebrities being dropped off at an uninhabited tropical island where they have to survive, to cooperate and win very creative or exhausting games in order not to be eliminated or to win simple temporary luxuries like a bed on another island.
It's called Expeditite Robinson, and to my knowledge has never been exported. To be fair, it is asking A LOT from the contestants. It's pretty common for contestant to lose 5-8kgs of body weight. I never followed a full season or anything, but I could recommend you checking out what it is about. It's a very cool idea.
Expeditie Robinson is originally a Swedish show. The American version is known as Survivor.
The Variomatic used bij DAF automobiles. Later its was put in Honda automobiles instead of driving by stick.
10:15 Ter Land, Ter Zee en in de Lucht(on land, on the seas and in the sky) basically get from point a to b in the shortest time possible with selfmade/self modified vehicles
reverse racing was also a thing back in the day on that program with DAF cars with a variomatic transmission(CVT) without the reverse speed limiter(it made it able to go as fast forward as backwards), caravan racing was also featured sometimes
I would also add, multinational company (VOC) and linked to that, shares in companies that are traded on a trading floor.
Don't know if it's still to come or if I missed it but don't forget the pendulum clock bringing precision time to the world
ASML would be a good one to look in to and "Water works" are mayor ones (and well known).
My dad’s generation the Babyboomers always took a jever/schnapps/gin shot next to their beer.
We call that a kopstoot , a head but, you can imagine why, certainly when you order only a kopstoot
Shout-out to ASML for making the machines that Intel Qualcomm AMD NVIDIA etc have built their companies with over the past few decades, should honestly have been mentioned on their video considering the crazy "footprint" that tech has these days. Oh and smaller shout-out to Philips for standardized screwdrivers, flat screens (in cooperation with LG), the mentioned cassettes & discs (in cooperation with Sony), a f*ckton of medical equipment & more.
Honestly the list goes on and on and (as a dutchie) i don't even know half of it, we're not very patriotic here tbh, to us it's just normal 😂
You do hit the nail on the head about this being tied into the directness/openness, it does help a lot that there is very little "class separation" in companies, if i can just tell the boss "this thing i was told to make for you is honestly a sh*t idea, wtf bro?" then i'm going to actually do that if i have a better idea & the boss knows to at least consider my input because of our country's history & other dutch companies being extremely successful by simply listening to their employees 🤷♂
And that's not just the case in only some of our best rated sectors like tech or greenhouse farming or whatever either, if i work at some road surfacing company and have some idea for a better road surface they are going to listen & consider it as well, thats why so many so wildly different things come from the Netherlands, if you have a good idea about ANYTHING then somebody will very happily fund it and 95% of those folks won't be a d*ck about sharing the profits with you because they're already crazy rich and taxed to hell for their riches anyway lol.
phillips skrews is from the usa and is spelled with 2 L's.
Don't forget total football, de coffeeshop, mother's day, polder politics, as well as many TV formats such as 'Big Brother' and 'The Voice' ;)
The Dutch also innovated many militairy naval and army tactics, most during their golden age, which coincided with the 80-years war. Land army tactics and formations were innovated by Maurice of Orange, the son of William the Silent, while admiral de Ruijter implemented efficient flag communication between ships. A not very known fact is that the British army that defeated Napoleon at Waterloo had a very sizeable Dutch contigent, of which Wellington spoke very highly. As always in these cases, history was rewritten by the victors, so some British field commanders later blamed all sorts of mishaps on the Dutch in their memoires, primarily to shift blame rom their own mistakes to another party.
Perhaps a nice addition to the list: Heike Kamerlingh Onnes invented a method to liquify helium in 1908 and disovered superconductivity in 1911 in Leiden.
Bluetooth was invented by a Dutch scientist, but he worked for Ericson which is Swedish.
Still a Dutch invention but true
Debatable.
aha lol that does not count as dutch then. strike :) thank you for adding this info. So I won't go around everywhere shouting "we" invented blue tooth :)
And the bluetooth symbol are two runes that are used as B and T i beleive and those are put together. And that's why the bluetooth symbol has a runic vibe to it.
By ze way add:
Kidney Dialysis Machine
Cardiac ECG reading.
Bookprinting. ( same time as in Germany to be fair).
Microscope.
Love the guy's accent!
Front wheel drive, CVT transmission,self supporting car body,fifth wheel on trucks, frikandel and bitterballen.
Professor Sibrandus Stratingh of Groningen, Netherlands, and his assistant Christopher Becker marked a major milestone in automotive history when they created the first true electric car in 1837. Also: In 1903, the four-wheel drive was first applied to a car of a Dutch brand: Spyker. Over the years, this technology turned out to be very useful. Nowadays you can find four-wheel drive cars everywhere. In 2022 a group of students in Eindhoven have developed a car that captures more C02 than it produces.
Hard to believe that one day in the Dutch news in the 80ties, there was an item with a warning that our country was far behind when it came to computer use and technology.
Wow.... learned a lot.
Happy marriage. 😂❤🎉
My first cd… Iron Maiden Powerslave.
Fun video! And accent. Where from?My first cd I ever bought was Hotel California by Eagles. But I thinks I just liked the front picture 😅
Not only DVD but also HD-DVD and the winner Blu-Ray (but HD-DVD was technically better).
And Laser Disc before them.
They forgot about the stocks market, back in the days of the VOC, they used to sell shares of the company to have enough income. The VOC was one of the first of not the first to do that. And it was also the first multinational company in the world
To be fair, a small correction. And I'm Dutch, by the way.
The CD was invented by Philips & Sony. You can still see it reflected in the S/PDIF name of a digital audio cable. That stands for Sony/Philips Digital InterFace. Hence the /
But then again, I don't work at Philips and I'm not sure if Sony was more attracted as the music company partner. It's complicated. I mean, they have worked with them in the past with the MSX project for example. But the statement "Philips invented the CD" is half of the story.
😂 zelfs de donuts is uitgevonden in de middeleeuwen door bakkers uit Leiden.
Oh ik dacht dat de Amerikanen het hadden uitgevonden
You forgot the company ASML. Probably the most important company on this planet right now.

Shell, Philips, Diamonds, ASML, our Dikes. I believe we invented dredging…
Well, I claim 50% of the telescope for Germany as Hans Lipperhey was born and lived half his life in Germany. 😘
i'm from the netherlands, and i forgot that wifi is a dutch thing, bluetooth i didn't know (i thought it was swedish), didn't know cassettes, CD's and DVD's were dutch, didn't know we had the first national anthem, didn't know about reality TV, didn't know about the speed camera, didn't know about the eye test chart, DID know about the microscope, did know about the telescope, did not know about the firehose, did know about Jenever, didn't know about elstar apples, didn't know about tiki taka, didn't know about SSM (surprisingly). so in short, i knew 3 out of 14
In the sixties-seventies there was a toxologist, who found out, that, when you eat fish together with leave vegetables, the mixure makes in your stomac a substance that generates cancer.
In the fifties there was a jaw chirgent who invented a new way for operating jaws. he wrote a book, but was laughed at.
25 years later, the book was obligated at almost all niversities in the world.
DAF Variomatic transmission. This invention by Hub van Doorne from 1958 still serves people today because of its convenience. At least, if they have a DAF (or Volvo) with a Variomatic. An automatic gearbox that Hub put his own twist on.
That is now known as a CVT and it even made it to a F1 car (never raced due to regulations).
Not invented by DAF though. They may have made it famous, but the CVT was much older.
On reality TV: there was the (initially brilliant) "24 hours with..." which was just two people (the host and the celebrity) in a large white room, talking, eating, drinking and sleeping in that room for 24 hours.
Many things blew my mind, for sure proud off my country. One side note, many things are copies from known products and renamed with a twist, so I don't know if the dutch can take all the credits. Shall we say, we all influence eachother and make good things together. It's sometimes like an unknown person who comes up with an idear (person or country) and somebody else runs with it, they did it together.... And some exceptions are there, true inventions ...
56 on the ticket but that is AFTER removing 3 plus your speedometer shows a speed faster than your actual speed.
So on your speedometer, it would have shown 60.
To be fair, the base signal encoding technology for WiFi was invented by American actress Hedy Lamarr. So not entirely Dutch although the implementation for wireless communication between computers was thought of by the Dutch guys discussed in this video.
For me, the most funny one always was the orange carrot!!
Philips used to have its own physics research laboratory (natlab) where researchers were allowed to play with and develop all kinds of ideas without having to convince anyone that the idea could turn profitable. Then the founder (Meneer Philips) retired and the regular CEO types started one efficiency round after another, cutting out the very research center that had come up with all of those ideas that did turn out profitable. The result is that today's Philips is not even a shadow of what it used to be and hasn't been known for new innovations for several years.
Also the cassette is a Dutch invention by Lou Ottens
Telescope, Microscope, refrigerator.
Fun fact. The hole in the CD . is as big as a dutch 10 cent coin. Before the blooty €
Elstar Apple is from Elst a small village next to Arnhem (the Netherlands)
