Invented in 1793, the cotton gin changed history for good and bad. By allowing one field hand to do the work of 10, it powered a new industry that brought wealth and power to the American South -- but, tragically, it also multiplied and prolonged the use of slave labor. Kenneth C. Davis lauds innovation, while warning us of unintended consequences. (05:14)

Louis Pasteur (December 27, 1822 – September 28, 1895) was a French microbiologist and chemist. He and his wife, Marie, are best known for their experiments supporting the germ theory of disease, and he is also known for his vaccinations, most notably the first vaccine against rabies. He made many discoveries in the field of chemistry, including the asymmetry (different shapes) of crystals. He is also well known for his way of keeping milk and wine from going sour for longer periods of time. That process is called pasteurization. It is when the milk and or wine is put under about 161 Fahrenheit (72 Celsius) for fifteen seconds. (03:50)

After thousands of years of attributing all cause and effect to "magic" scientists decide to try a different method. In the seventeenth century, European thinkers started to invest their studies which lead to the scientific revolution. Scientific revolution was about beliefs, logic, and reason. Nicolas Copernicus made others believe that the sun, not the earth was the center of the universe.
another scientist, Galileo invented the telescope. Thomas Edison and Latimer invented the record player and the light bulb. All 3 scientists used scientific methods to help for what was needed to invent their experiment and change the way people thought. This video explains how the scientific method came to benefit mankind. An excellent motivator for students as it shows that not all inventions need to be grand. (03:55)

Our lives today are dependent upon a bewildering amount of technology, much of which we take for granted. Indeed, some of that technology is so pervasive that we forget it even is technology.
Perhaps that's one reason why so many have forgotten the name of Serbian-born inventor Nikola Tesla.
Tesla endured a frightening number of injustices during his life. This is a story about Tesla, one of his inventions, and his extraordinary generosity, in hopes that he will not face the additional injustice of being forgotten by history. (10:00)
