Notes
This is a PBS show, and the source was kinda crappy. We made this look as good as
possible, but there are still some parts with single dropped frames and other parts
with slight blending. Nothing that you can really notice on playback though.
Summary
Steven Johnson relates the story of people who take us out of the dark and into the
light. Hear about Edison's light bulb, which he didn't actually invent, and
learn how an 18th-century shipping community discovered a source of illumination by
putting a kid inside a whale's head. See how a French scientist accidentally
discovered how to create neon light, leading to a revolution in advertising.
Dispelling the myth of the individual "eureka" moment, Johnson reveals that
teamwork and collaboration led the way to the most transformative ideas. Whether,
altering the world's sleeping patterns, giving rise to mass spectator sports,
revolutionizing how global business is done or triggering one of the great social
reforms in American history, the pioneers of light have made themselves
indispensable throughout human history.
