A Thought-Provoking Documentary

avatar
(Edited)

If you've followed my posts for a while, especially my irregular Cool Creator Spotlight series (latest link), you know I love history and technology. I like how things are made. I like the progress of industry. I like to try to understand how and why things are the way they are.

A library patron recently reminded me of the 1978 BBC series Connections, hosted by James Burke. I took some time to revisit it, and consider how much has advanced in the last few decades, yet how little our concerns have changed.


Image credit

Episode 1 begins with a description of a 1965 power outage and its impact on the lives of everyone on the eastern seaboard of the US. It then asks what would be necessary to rebuild after an even more widespread disaster, and recounts how everything we consider "civilization" today traces back to the plow and sedentary agriculture.

Subsequent episodes follow a whirlwind tour through history and technology to explore the interconnected experiments and accidents and bizarre coincidences that lead to major breakthroughs of modern life.

The final episode ties everything together, and asks some big questions. When I entitled this post, "A Thought-Provoking Documentary," I mean it. Unlike most documentarians, Burke offers several possible positions one could take after seeing these connections and their possible consequences. Much of it is hilariously obsolete in hindsight. Other points, however, are quite prescient, or at least still open to debate.

Who decides what is socially desirable, and what isn't? You? Me? And on what basis?

This question is part of every political discussion and social media argument today, even though Burke couldn't have foreseen social media in the first place. He also warns of the possibility we are seeing materialize now, where bureaucracy balloons and knowledge fragments between specialists. He doesn't address the arguments against government funding of science or enforcement of intellectual property. His illustrations of computers are absurd in our era of ubiquitous laptops and smartphones. But he still asks questions we can apply to today's hot button issues like crypto and generative AI.

Why should you track this down and watch it in 2025, almost 50 years after it was filmed?

  1. It offers a solid exploration of the history of technology and its effect on every aspect of our society we take for granted today.
  2. It lets us look back on the concerns of the past, and weigh them against the concerns of our present day.
  3. It is extremely well produced for its time, presented in an engaging manner, and encourages asking deeper questions.
  4. The overarching theme encourages exploration of unexpected connections and overlooked discoveries to gain a better understanding of our world instead of narrowly focusing on individual subjects, lest we blind ourselves to possibilities.

I only caution particularly prudish viewers that episode 3 contains a couple scenes of nudity. Otherwise, the content should be suitable for all ages from the middle grades and up. I should note the library DVD set I watched also had some issues preventing me from seeing all of a couple episodes, so I may have overlooked something along the line there.

Update: as of January 2025, the series is available on the Internet Archive here.

I know it's not the point of the post but imagine how solidly freaked out everyone must have been about that power outtage back in 65🤣 must have thought the world ended!

I read a book called "Thr Psychology Of Money" and in that book the author also talks about how stuff correlates with events that happened and how those events caused other events to happen (mostly financial of-course but some stuff you'd never think to have a big impact might lead to having catastrophic consequences!) Something small can cause a tsunami if given enough time!

(All unrelated to what you're talking about but what I'm getting to is that something that happened years ago and might already be forgotten can still have huge impacts on what is happening today)
People often overlook that!

Still seems like a decent set of information and questions.

And perhaps this sort of thing should be done again and again every couple of years. Answer some questions from the last one and then ask new questions or frame them in terms of the new information and current events.

The thing is, these aren't all really answerable questions. It's more about trying to predict the unpredictable and how we as individuals respond to societal or technological upheaval.

Technology is a funny thing. A lot of people THINK we are technologically advanced. But by the majority people are just technology users.

That is a fair critique, but not a new one. 100 years ago, radio was taking off, but only a handful of people built radios and understood the technology. Same with the automobile, steam power, blacksmithing, etc.

Indeed. And this is why we are always so very close to that collapse we see in all the post-apocalyptic movies! 🤣🤣🤣

Is there a link to watch this online? I tried google and only got an article in Wikipedia and I found another page about the tv series with the episodes but it was not a video.

Someone went on a purge of independent uploads a long time ago, and I don't think anyone streams it officially now.

Edit: I take that back. It's on the Internet Archive here I will also update the post.

Hive Emergency: A Call to Action STOP THE BAD DOWNVOTES

We are facing a critical situation on the Hive blockchain, where a small group of individuals is exerting undue influence and control over the community. This group, comprised of a single "whale" and their associated accounts, is using their power to downvote good content, self-vote their own posts, and power down their tokens.

This behavior is having a devastating impact on our community, and it is essential that we take immediate action to address this issue. We propose two key solutions:

  • Implement a comment requirement for downvotes: This would ensure that users are aware of the reasons behind downvotes and can engage in informed discussions about the motivations behind these actions.
  • Reform our community to prioritize love and inclusivity: We must create a community where everyone can thrive, not just the chosen few. This can be achieved by promoting a culture of love, compassion, and respect.

We understand that some individuals may be concerned about the rules and moderators. However, it is essential to recognize that the rules are made by the same individuals who are farming the system. Therefore, it is time for us to take matters into our own hands and create a new, better Hive.

We invite you to share your thoughts, ideas, and concerns in the comments below. Together, we can work towards creating a more inclusive, compassionate community for all Hivers.

Your decision to keep your actions under wraps is a clear sign of your desperation, and it's not going to work. You thought you could keep your scamming activities hidden, but the truth has finally come to light. It's time for you to face the consequences of your actions and seek help. Being online will not solve your problems; in fact, it will only exacerbate them. Those who encourage your behavior are just as culpable as you are, and it's essential that they take responsibility for their actions as well.

We've even caught some top Hivers using their alt accounts to fund their own projects and manipulate the system. It is like they are playing a game of Hiveopoly, but instead of rolling dice, they are rolling out downvotes and taking money as they wish

The Bilpcoin team were attacked by Themarkymark gang so, we started investigating and gathering evidence, and before long, we had a whole list of scammers and abusers. And let me tell you, it was a doozy

The Bilpcoin team is shifting its focus towards creating more in-depth content, aiming for less frequent but higher quality posts, potentially once or twice a day

We're ending the day with a bang - introducing two more crazy Santa designs: one happy drunk and one smoking

Their attempts to intimidate and silence their critics are equally concerning. The use of downvotes as a means of censorship is a clear indication of their desperation to maintain their grip on the narrative. But it's not working
