Smart girl Laya with your thoughts on smartphones and them ruining young lives!
Smartphones are actually useful. Its people nowadays who aren't...they'd rather tik tok than do research.
@@juneskywalker5847 My brother is a Ph.D and I recently read some of his colleague's research and it is alarming. He has shown pretty convincing evidence of actual changes in MRI results between normal folks and internet addicted. He even went so far as to call it "brain damage". He also said the deactivation in these areas looked like MRI's he has done of crack addicts. I'm a tech nerd and not saying to kill the internet but, parents should think long and hard about what they allow and how often they allow it.
The US invented a lot of things, too many for a single video. The Credit Card, barcodes, microwave ovens and the list goes on.
Television, Wikipedia, washing machines, modern rubber, countless medical innovations… those are just the ones off the top of my head but the list is endless
@@jasonbrown097Television was invented by a Scottish man .
Since she said that she needs some glasses - The bifocal glasses were invented by Benjamin Franklin.
@@willrobinson4976 and many things invented elsewhere America improved or made viable 🤘
Microwave ovens weren't invented.
Welcome back. We really missed you guys.
Glad to see the family again!
What always amazed me when I was a kid was to think of my grandfather's life. It's a whale of a story.
Born in 1896, his mother left her husband when granddad was still a baby (this almost NEVER happened back then!) and went back home to a small rural town in Tennessee where her family had the only hotel in town. It was a two story building, one hall upstairs and one hall downstairs with rooms on each side, and the family lived in rooms in the hotel. This is where my granddad spent his youth.
There were no electric lights, no electricity at all. After dark it was candles and lanterns for light, and since the building was a wooden one had to be extremely careful. People came to stay at the hotel either on foot, on horseback, or in wagons/carriages. The train ran to town, but it was mainly used to pick up and bring back the workers who traveled every day to the nearest city (with a population of around 30,000 people, so it was tiny compared to modern 'cities') to work in the mills and workshops. There was a well for water, outhouses for using the bathroom, and washstands for bathing. Each washstand had a large bowl that would hold around a gallon of water, and that was what one used when taking a bath: dip the washcloth in the bowl and then scrub your body until it was clean. A pitcher was usually with each washbasin to allow one to go to the water barrel to get water to take to fill the washbasin. Hot baths weren't a thing either.
Once he started school he went to the small schoolhouse which only had one room where students from the ages of 5 or 6 through 13 all gathered and studied under the watchful eye of the teacher. Once one graduated from the one room schoolhouse one either started working (and kids younger than 13 often dropped out or missed school to go to work) or one went to the nearest city for high school. There were two ways to go to high school. If one's parents could afford it they would pay for the student to live with a family in the city and attend school, seeing their own family rarely during their schooling. Otherwise one would have to do like my granddad did and catch the workers train in the morning and come home on it every night. The train left town at 4:30 in the morning and came back again after 6 in the evening.
My grandfather, like almost all kids then, did work daily. There was no electricity, so granddad helped chop wood for the fireplaces. He had to help cleaning, and he also would help look after the horses that guests had ridden in on. His worst job was the one he had to do every morning before catching the workers train to go to high school. He had to go down both upstairs and downstairs halls to collect and then go empty the chamber pots. There was no indoor plumbing, so each guest's room had a chamber pot to use if they had to go to the bathroom during the night. They'd put the full chamber pot outside their door once they were done, and granddad had to go and pick them up, one at a time, take them outside, dump them out in the outhouse, rinse them out at the pump, dump them out again, and then take the empty and clean(ish) chamber pot up and set it back outside the door where he had found it. I believe the hotel had 20 rooms, so he possibly had to do this twenty times before catching the train. Figure five minutes per chamber pot and that's over an hour and a half of gross work BEFORE catching the 4:30 train to go to school!
He missed an entire school year in high school because he caught tuberculosis (which was almost always fatal in those days) and he was so sick and so weak for a year that he couldn't do much of anything. He obviously survived and got better, but it was somewhat of a shock that he did survive.
That was just his childhood: no phones, no electricity, no cars, news came late if at all (when he was little it was several months after elections before they heard who the new president was), one restaurant, one general store in town, no grocery stores, no clothing stores, no malls, mail came via the work train, and letters that arrived from out of town had often been written weeks before. That was his childhood, and by the time he died at 96 years old he had seen the development of cars, airplanes (from biplanes to passenger jets), massive improvements in healthcare, manufacturing, communication, and so many other aspects of life. And he had seen men walk on the moon. Things he never could have dreamed of as a kid, but he saw happen.
So, kiddos, next time you want to complain when mum and dad have you doing chores around the house just remember that you're not having to take pots full of other people's pee and/or poop outside every morning at 3:30 and be thankful for that. Once granddad told me that story when I was a teen, I never complained about mowing the yard again. 😀
Dad grew up in a house with no electricity. They had gas lamps. He and his brother stayed up in the attic to sleep.I can't top your story? But it is much the same. Good Luck and God Bless.
@@broncobra Nothing to top in my story, just that hearing about these experiences helps us really appreciate what we've got! Your dad had some tough times, but it gave him perspective which you learned about too. All that matters is that we realize that we have it pretty good, even on the crappy days! Take care and hope you have a great day!
@@thatpatrickguy3446 Not trying to "top"anything, buddy? Just sharing. I live in a house built in 1900. I would not reccomend that? lol. Plumbing issues, wiring and everything
else. Old farmhouse. Pretty sure it's haunted as well. I've got a prankster. It's all good. Yes, we do have it good? I'm single. Just retired. Couldn't imagine living anywhere else.
You look to have a terrific family? Grandpa took a single shot .22 to school everyday, so he could maybe shoot some game on the way home for supper.
I still have his rifle. Just little things like that make life great? My dad went out when they tore down Fort McPherson here in NE. Got a bunch of the cedar. Someone gave him
a slate pool table top, so he made a frame out of that cedar. He was a carpenter. I still own that. Stuff like that makes life fun? It's all good.
Your story was very cool. You are far more articulate than I am. Mom once told me that only one rich family in her small town of 300 had a tv. They would invite everyone over to watch the 5" screen? They had a traveling guy that would show movies outdoors on the side of a building once a month. That was around 1950s? She graduated 1955.
Thank you for sharing your story. It means a lot to keep history alive. You rock! Thanks.
Adding traffic lights, the Elevator and the first home security system!
Don't feel bad about your daughter asking if you had one of those old cars...When my daughter was 4 she loved The Flintstones cartoon. She asked if I had a pet dinosaur🦖 when I was growing up😡 I told her yes and I rode it to school😂
Being American and even knowing about the internet, I'm always amazed.
The swivel chair. Spandex, jazz music, the clipper ship, and drumroll please...the moon buggy. You're welcome world.
I had my very first personal computer in 1982. It cost $3,500. To put this in context, you could buy a good lightly used luxury car like a Buick or Cadillac, for that same money, or pay rent for a year.
1998 it cost me £1500, i had 6gb hard drive
Anyone remember the AOL cd disks they would always send in your mailbox.
I used to go down the street taking all the neighbors discs.
My mom forgot to send in the Columbia House thingy? We got an 8 track. It sat for weeks. One day, bored out of my mind, I decided to have a listen? It was Aerosmith
Dream On. HOLY SCHNIEKIE? It changed my life. You can't possibly imagine what an impact that had on me. Middle of nowhere Nebraska.
An American invented the enclosed elevator. His last name was Otis. The 3 light traffic light was also invented by an American.
The traffic signal was invented by a black man named Garret Morgan.
@@gandr.e.5136 The traffic signal was invented by a white man names James Hoge.
Love the random stories
an FYI: Betty White, the comedian was actually born BEFORE sliced bread was invented.... she was 2 years old when the first sliced bread was sold.... RIP Betty
Thank you for your videos, really good. You're such a beautiful family. 👍♥️
Two years later, George Westinghouse invented the Two part light-bulb, thus getting around Edison's Monopoly patent, and opening the field for everyone.
I Love Your Stories It is So Fun To See Everyone Laughing And Having A Good Time. God Bless You And Your Family.
Hey Graham Family we have missed you.😊
This dude is a great father.
Also moving pictures, refrigeration, air conditioning and recorded sound are major U.S. inventions we cant live without.
Great to see you guys.🥰
Great family! Keep uploading your reaction videos. ❤
I love your random stories! Keep them coming!
I like your random stories they're entertaining. Also. When. You go. Outside William s
Jono, I've had so many MRIs done. Regardless of how big I've gotten to make these things a close fit, I just close my eyes listen to the music if there is any or the sound of the machine and take a nap and when the sound is done and the table starts moving it's time to get up.
Im with u i needed to be put out last yr when i needed a mri im so terrified of small places i flipped out and even threw up i pray i never nd one again
With the lightbulb. It wasn’t as long ago as you might think for me it was only two generations back. My grandfather was born in 1876.
At least he was a centennial baby.
I almost freaked out when they put that mask over my face for my first MRI, and I caught myself; reminded self that I had two openings, and I could easily slide out. Second MRI didn't faze me.
The car was NOT the first thing manufactured on assembly lines. Bicycles were the first.
The moving, assembly line.
I'm an old guy and I still marvel that my grandmother traveled on one of the last wagon trains to California and lived long enough to see a man land on the moon. I find that amazing. Also could you tell me what grade your daughter graduated from?
Our country doesn't get any where near the credit it should get for what we've brought the world.
MRI's were called NMRI's in the 70's. It stood for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
They thought that people would be scared of the Nuclear part so they dropped it in the 80's.
Thomas Edison was a member of my family . He invented a lot of very useful things but in his feud with Tesla over whether electricity should be AC or DC he favored DC and was wrong .
i think America gave the opportunity to so many people to dream and dream big, on top of being a melting pot of cultures and ideas all combined and helped us invent so many important things. also cant forget our military creates ALOT of crazy new things as well.
PS -i love Buffy!!!! i rewatch it pretty much every year
At first networks started at large companys, universities, and military sites. The internet was just the connection of all these smaller networks, and the gaps filled in.
Many MRIs in the US are shaped like a donut or bagel, instead of being a cylinder. So there is no claustrophobia. I used to hate MRIs, but now i just listen to music and i am never in a confined space. It is great.
My first cell phone was a Nokia which looked and felt, both in weight and size, like a brick.
LOL! I'm like Layla in public. My husband rolls his eyes at me and tells me to relax because nobody is writing a book about me🤣😁
I'm the same way sometimes. I think I should dress well so people won't look at me and think I'm a bum. Then I think they will look at me and wonder why this guy is trying so hard being dressed like that. Sometimes I think it's just narcissism.
There's some absolutely amazing inventions coming soon, probably within the next 10 years or less...free energy, quantum computers, medbeds...just to name a few.
I've had about 10 MRI's in 37 years and I always hate when they use the head support thing that keeps your head from moving. I always just keep my eyes closed and try to fall asleep. The longest continuous MRI I've had has been 3 hours.
Email wasn't an invention, but the modem that made it possible was an invention.
Edison’s light bulb is still burning. It’s the longest lasting light bulb in history.
Thanks to a black man named Louis Latimer.
I always take the statement that "so and so invented X" with a grain of salt. Almost every significant invention is the result of many incremental steps. As an example the first light bulb (originally called a lamp) was over a hundred years before the Edison lamp. It didn't last very long, wasn't very bright, and was very fragile. Then over the next century or longer several different people made incremental improvements.
stronger, brighter, longer lasting, better quality of light, etc. People from France, Germany, England, the US and other countries. Yes, Edison's lamp could be called the most commercially successful but without a century's work by many different people he would have never succeeded. And sometimes there are two or three steps in the developmental chain that could legitimately be said to have "invented" something.
My kids laugh when I tell them my freshman year of college (1993) I had a class to introduce us to this new technology called the world wide web
NO one ever thought to ask who invented mini golf?
Electric cars actually go back to the very beginning of the last century! The Studebaker electric was a two seater of around 1902 was developed by the Studebaker company based in Ft Wayne, Indiana. It was powered by heavy nickel lead batteries.
I got my first email in 1981, because when you took a programming class, that is how assignments were sent.
It's mind-blowing to realize that only 73 years elapsed from the first airplane flight and landing a Probe on Mars. js
Another great video. Thanks for sharing
The newest generation of MRI machines are spacious in the back and do not take as much room anymore. There are even new Bedside MRI machines that barely take space. We even have bedside CT scanners now which are fast and reliable. X rays have also come a long way as the bulky machines are gone now it’s a box on a cart. All results are sent immediately to a hospital computer file which the doctor can open via iPad or tablet.
The way the rotary phones dialed was that the dial would disconnect the telephone wire for a moment, and the number you chose, it would disconnect it that many times in a row. The disconnect effect is the same as hanging up the phone. So if you had good timing, you could actually dial a number by just tapping the hangup button, like doing morse code. Some REALLY old payphones, you could dial without paying, just by tapping the hangup switch in the right pattern.
they are gifted people who were sent to serve a special purpose meant to go through many trials and tribulations is my only explanation
Wearing dark sunglasses 🕶️ can help with that social anxiety I have to wear them if I talk to more than three people at once ! It is why law enforcement officers wear dark sunglasses 😎 so they can separate themselves from others mentally !
The new world gave us the new world.
The old world actually gave you the modern world , Britain invented a lot of industrial machinery seeing as the industrial revolution started there.
This is the digital Era bro.
@@reaperbsc To whom are you addressing your comment? Me?
I remember carrying the very first portable Defibrillator in 1978, It was almost 2 feet long and weighed 75 pounds.
The newer MRI's in the US are much larger than they were even 5 years ago. They will also give you a Zanax before so you're not bothered by it.
Few other we Americans invented the vacuum cleaner air conditioner and sonor after the Titanic sunk a American wanted to make a underwater receiver he was tasked to make a speaker as well result is sonar
My sister was a switch board operator at SouthWestern Bell Telephone. Which she took long distance calls. That was 40 years ago. Before Ronald Reagan dismantled Ma Bell!.. Bell Labs was one of the best TECH labs, in the world. Maybe the best! At that time. My home phone bill was 14 dollars a month. In the eighties, Cheap even then. BUT, long distance was EXPENSIVE.
One of the most important inventions not listed here is the cell phone. Of course, there are lots more, like photography, movies, movies with sound, and on and on.
I still have my grandma's old rotary phone from 1958.
yogi bear invented the tv, babies were invented by men and woman, issac newton invented gravity, I had a computer at school in the 60s a slide rule, and my brain
America invented Air conditioning and the microwave as well.
The Atomic bomb? Splitting the atom for the first time allowed energy that was carbon neutral and low pollution. Also the transistor; that every single modern electronic device is based on was an American invention. It makes quite a few of the things on this list possible.
We invented television, as well.
They can now make defibrillators that are small enough that they fit under the skin of your chest and that act in conjunction with a pacemaker...
Due for another mri this next week or so. I know what u mean. It’s terrifying , you feel trapped, and there’s no button you can push to just end it and get out if you panic. I wish they had panic buttons but it’d be more dangerous to staff and damage results. But you can always wish
I have always had a call light any time I have had one, thank God.
The Computer alone is the Most Life Changing Invention, first built in Philadelphia PA
Bernoulli's principle/equation (sometime in the 1700's and I think he was Swiss/Swede). That explains how planes fly. The later folks just put it into practice. After graduating from college (where I learned fluid mechanics), I realized that my grandfather understood it, and he only had a 6th grade education but could build a flyable model plane from scratch wood. As you said earlier, some people just think differently.
It's hard to feel manly anytime you're hitting a ball through a windmill. :-)
The best use for a crank phone ...was for fishing, only you had to make sure the game warden wasn't around. You could catch a limit of fish in about five minutes.
I would highly recommend watching a video about Nikola Tesla. Edison "benefitted" a lot from his work. Tesla was the real genius imo.
It took Edison and his team over 2,700 attempts to figure out a good light bulb design. They tried well over 1,000 different filament materials alone. Lots of people made light bulbs in some form before Edison, but Edison made the first one that was practical, didn't burn out too quickly and could be manufactured cheaply enough that people would stop using gas lighting and have electricity installed in their houses (he also provided electricity through his power company). it's not enough to invent a product, you have to make it practical, useful and cheap enough so people will use it, that's how you create a technological revolution.
@DrD0000M Thanks to my ancestor Moses Gerrish Farmer, Edison was able to achieve, but my ancestor had his house lighted around 20 years before Edison's light bulb. Copy & pasted from Wikipedia on Moses Gerrish Farmer.....With his partner William Wallace, he invented the early dynamo which powered a system of arc lights he exhibited at the Centennial Exhibition of 1876 in Philadelphia, and which inspired Thomas Edison to work on an improved incandescent light. Edison used the Wallace-Farmer 8 horsepower (6.0 kW) dynamo to power his early electric light demonstrations
The part that they left out was that the carbon filament for the bulb was invented by a black man named Louis Latimer. He was the only black inventor that worked for Edison and went on to hold 8 other patents. He was the son of freed slaves. Look him up.
Buffy was badass...I have it on DVD :).
Thay Have A Flying car it is at the museum of flit in Seattle it has been there sense I was a kid in the 80s
♥️♥️your daughter is beautiful and cute and gorgeous♥️♥️but ya should watch the video of the F-22 fighter jet♥️
I think PET scan is the one like being loaded in a tight torpedo tube. MRI is much more spacious. Still, not pleasant.
We invented the credit card system too.
we call brush snags, Grass Bass!
Hello From Texas
BEN FRANKLIND INVENTED BIFOCAL TOO!
A European complaining because they were just given 3 additional knee physio sessions on the spot without any hoopla - meanwhile here in America I’ve been waiting years for the knee physio appointments I was approved for by insurance years ago (and have since had 2 additional doctors put in recommendations for!). 😔
Kat is a proper mom, she knows everything…
They missed the cell phone
A lot of our eye sight is now done by lasers also. The US also invented bar codes on products. And Microwaves.
Kat wasn't there to catch fish. She was there to provide moral support.
We used the crank phone guts to fish with.
ARPA is the American think tank that is strictly for thinking up new ideas for the military. ARPA also thought up the computer mouse.
Hey graham's , Your family chit-chat is all fine and acceptable. You give more insight into your family dynamics and sometimes bqckgrounds. All good!.
Perhaps you've heard the expression -" necessity is the mother of invention." Meaning when you have a need you find a way...to simplify ,to make something easier ,to make something go (work) quicker. Thanks.
As always ks.
I have social anxiety cuz of autism but it comes with positives cuz the military liked me cuz we don't mind the command structure but my rate is that one exception
Very interesting how close ARPANET is to DARPA. 🤔
Air Conditioning, Elevator so tall skyscrapers could be built.
I suggest you and Garen watch a video on how planes are able to fly. It may help him with being nervous flying.❤😊
Nope
Not the Internet being invented in 1969. I was a meme from the start.😂
We Americans 🇺🇸 also invented the nuclear ☢️ bomb in 1945 helping to usher in the nuclear atomic ☢️ age which as greatly benefited the human race the nuclear bomb lead to nuclear ☢️ energy helping to power our cities and towns.
remember, thats just the top 10, when theres many more after that. the US basically invented every modern technology
Take the hats off if you are in a house.
Half of them were invented in my lifetime.
Don't forget the USA invented f22 raptors. B17 . B 111.
A lot of things were done because of the military.
she could serve in any military
17:07 Don't forget that basically 61 years after the Wright brother's Kitty hawk did a flight lasting just 12 seconds, traveled 120 feet, and reached a top speed of 6.8 miles per hour a beast of a plane took to the skies.
In 1964 Lockheed created the fastest plane in history. The SR-71 "Blackbird." 10 years later in '74 a Blackbird flew from NYC to London in 1 hour 54 minutes while at full throttle.
Also, the first practical in home electric refrigerators were invented in the US.
Most of these were invented for or by the Military,.
Do you know. There's. A 100 year and plus. Light bulb. Still burning. In a fire station here in America. It's been on for that long. Look it up. William s
I invented a sure-fire way to annoy women.
