James Burke : Connections, Episode 8, “Eat, Drink and be Merry”, 1 of 5 (CC)

  • Posted on August 26, 2011 at 12:40 am

Watch Entire Show: www.youtube.com More Shows: www.youtube.com Episode 8 of James Burke’s most well-known series “Connections” which explores the surprising and unexpected ways that our modern technological world came into existence. Each episode investigates the background of usually one particular modern invention and how it came into being. These explorations are an attempt to locate the “connections” between various historical figures who seemingly had nothing to do with each other in their own times, however once connected, these same figures combined to produce some of the most profound impacts on our modern day world; in a “1+1=3″ type of way. It is this type of investigation that is the core idea behind the Knowledge Web project, whereby sophisticated software is being developed to attempt to discover these subtle interconnections automatically. See k-web.org. Note This clip contains one of Mr. Burke’s most well-known scenes: the famous “rocket takeoff scene” (also mentioned in re-Connections : see playlists) See channel page for purchase options.

Normally, when Mario and I travel, we make it a point to have a sort of “home base”, somewhere we keep returning to where we keep some of our luggage, and it’s at this “home base” that we drop off our souvenirs during the trip, so we don’t have to travel with them for extended periods of time. This trip, we didn’t really have that “home base”. Sure, we left our extra luggage at Lesley & James’ in Melbourne, but we didn’t return there between legs of our trip. We hopped directly to Adelaide from Sydney, so anything bought in Sydney had to come with us, including on the flight, to Adelaide. So we solved this dilemma by buying very little during the course of the trip, and saving all our BIG shopping for our return to Melbourne. Thus, we were able to drop everything in the extra suitcase at Lesley & James’ at the end of the day, and we were able to get good bargains because we did most of our shopping at the Queen Victoria Market Here you can find everything from the cheapest and best Australiana souvenirs, foodstuffs, crafts, imports from …
