- In this episode of Hello World, Bloomberg’s Ashlee Vance heads to England to find out how the country is fighting to inject new life into its technology industry. The trip starts out in Bletchley Park. From there, it’s off to Cambridge, the heart of England’s technology scene. Vance hangs out with learned cows and artificial intelligence whizzes, bikes past Newton’s famed apple tree (at least a reasonable replica of it), and goes punting with the inventor of the Raspberry Pi computer. From Cambridge, it’s off to the Cotswolds and the headquarters of Dyson to see its latest creations. And then on to London to check out some startups and whine about Brexit while drinking the world’s most exotic cocktails at the Langham Hotel.
----------
Hello World is a Webby and Emmy-nominated video series from Bloomberg that invites the viewer to come on a journey across the globe to find the inventors, scientists and technologists shaping our future.

England - where being successful is rude. Most true words I have ever heard
@mark heyne old money is ill gotten
@SNP Alba forever Great Britain refers to England, Scotland and Wales. The United Kingdom refers to the union of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
@SNP Alba forever carm down ,you sound like that nutty commie tyrant minister you've got 'sturgeon
Not at all. You should see Scandinavia and jenteloven
How 👿rude?
Filmed before ARM was bought by a Japanese firm and Dyson moved to Singapore.
Dyson moved manufacturing to Singapore longer than 2 years ago.
Don't worry. you may be more shortsighted than you think.
@@stevenm8970 I know, but they've only just moved the rest of the company.
Since ARM was essentially Britain's technological future, why did the British government just let it be sold abroad?
That is the RESULT of Politicians Padding their bank accounts,,, Precisely why it was so Important to get a businessman to run.. Next Problem???
he needs to practice his connect 4, what on earth was that!
In 9th grade people got so mad at me for taking what felt like a whole minute before I did each move. But I was seeing every path they could make, and I was seeing what I could do next if they dropped their piece in each of the different columns, and I've never lost a game of Connect-4 ever since. (Before anyone says it, I'll make the joke: YoU alwaYs wiN bEcaUse tHey goT boReD of waItinG.)
The way Britain mixed Tech with Art is what makes it special.
Its not just a fever of production and consumption.
as an oxford student this was rather upsetting
Missed UK with their ale, cottage pie, cogney accent, AISB, OU, Brockwood Park, nice people and many more. Thank you for your Hello World videos helping us study and learn keeping up what's on.
"Dyson has perfected suck ... and now its on to blow" - awesome!
This idea (raspberry pie)is probably the greatest I’ve ever heard. Imagine where we would be at here in America if kids learned this stuff in grade school.
the uk had the first commercial nuclear power station built in 1956
where's Deep Mind?!
not in Cambridge I guess:)
Re: Dyson Hoovers (I having 30years of experience with all sorts of Hoovers/vacume cleaners found the Dyson to be the WORST Hoover with regards to Human ergonics making you twist your spine using them they are both heavy & awkward to use (But they look nice & colourful!) the best are very small & able to wear on your back so your arms only have to use their force on the actual tube & hoover head.
Hoover was just another Brand of Vacuum Cleaner. Which Dyson model are you talking about ?
Dyson doesn't make Hoovers, Hoover is another company which copied Dyson technology, were sued for millions and had to destroy all the thousands of Hoovers the made. You need to get your brain corrected claiming they are heavy.
Actually britan impresses me. During university i realised that there is so so much scientific output from UK. Im from the pharmaceutical/biomedical sector and i was really suprised how much research in these fields is done and comes from the UK. Its often not really visible to the public eye. but the UK is a huge player in science, covering most fields
Thanks Ashlee for the videos. Great insight into technology around the world.
hahahaha nice joke. This total waster cant even avoid swearing on camera. What an irritating OAP! (Odd amateur presenter!)
Persecuting Allen Turing had a lot to do with Britain not having a computer industry.
Bletcheley Park is a great place! I've been to Wiltshire several times, to Malmesbury and Devizes.
Technology renaissance: welcome to next gen... hair dryer?
Amstrad was British?
Sinclair was British?
I got 2 and I'm an Aussie.
wonderful story and production quality. Thanks!
9:36 He's doing punting, similar to an Italian activity on narrow water. I can see stuff like this at a local resort in my current hometown! The resort is even the tallest building in the state where I live!
Don't worry kids.
Colossus will be your internet after Brexit.
awesome tech and startup scene in London now. especially financial tech. sadly arm is acquired by Japan SoftBank now. i hope UK keeps innovating after brexit
Sinclair Spectrum, Amstrad.
fuckfannyfiddlefart isn’t commodore too? And bbc. We had more than Americans at the beginning.
@@SimonLeeds Commodore was a yank company. BBC Micro (obviously) was English.
It's amazing how wrong this video is about England. The English invented computers, as well as the World Wide Web, RISC processors and many other things that everyone has heard of. We also have some of the best video game companies, created the RaspberryPi et cetera.
Americans like to think they are the best at everything,
@@george6977 Agreed. They love to claim "we are the best" yet no, Americans rely on superior UK. We don't brag as they do, like recently in an interview Trump said " we invented the wheel" 🤣
@@jamesmorris3123 No, where is this? I want to laugh. 😭
They are putting together basic computer plugs? Other than the kids colors what did they build??
2:43 outrageous, I was just on my way to put the kettle on when he said that, x-D
I bought an Amstrad PC in 1987 at Costco. Ran MS DOS 3.1. 16 color monitor.
It's not really crazy that less people are applying to study computer science. Nowadays it's quite easy to learn most of computing at home and online from MOOCs so unless you are interested in a regulated profession like Medicine most things can be learnt at home this days.
23:32 "So that's about 1,800 RPM" at first I thought he said 18,000 RPM and I was floored. XD
No he said 1,800 RPS not RPM minute sounds very different from second.
He said either 150,000 RPM. or 115,000 either way his math is wrong on the rps 1,800 x 60 = 108,000.
Necessity is the mother of all invention.
Warm beer? Raspberry jam? I think you meant cold beer and raspberry pi
i love the reporter. He makes me enjoy doing my uni work
20:16 Dyson. 4 years and $71 Mn to bring supersonic hairdryer to life.
First ARM major customer: Acorn (Archimedes)...
Also: Why no mention of Dave Jaggar? (Thumb instruction set, streamlining/productizing the architecture and S/W tools)
Mistake noted - the beer isn't warm as its cellar temperature, ie- 11 deg Celcius.
BAE is among the most advanced company's in the World!
lol for killing innocents. Sick!
and now French
@@Cr-gf3gn context?? What do you mean?
@@Cr-gf3gn It's British owned not French
sinclair (electronics)
AMSTRAD (elecctronics)
acorn (microcomputers)
ARM (the R.I.S.C systhem)
wright bros. bicycles (the aeroplane)
charles babbage (the analytical engine)
Sinclair Research now only employs 1 person. Acorn is defunct. ARM is Japanese owned. I couldn't find a UK Wright Bros. Bicycle company. Amstrad is doing well though and Charles Babbage was indeed British.
Wright Bros is a US company. And nothing else you listed is pervious and entirely "FROM U.K. " . idiot.
@@TanTan-ni4mg amstrad is entirely british, sinclair is a british inventor(invented the pocket calculator), alan turing invented the general purpose computer, ada lovelace invented computational mathematics and is british.
Missing out on the biggies, eh? John Logie Baird for TV, Alexander Graham Bell for the telephone, Robert Watson Watt for RADAR (and the magnetron that powers it), and that's just from Scotland alone...
Hello world videos are amazing
I like them alot too :)
let say nice
15:30 this Microsoft employee is playing Minecraft version 1.8 with 4 Minecraft forge mods. I'm soooo jealous!
Connect 4 is the type of algorithm that shouldn't be classified as AI, it's a state based game that falls into the category of 'solved game', any non-intelegent computer can simulate the flow of the game selecting optimal moves, all based of a simulation and algorithm, no actual thought or decision making, just following user inputted procedure...
Sinclair, amstrad , acorn , arm , raspberry pi
Bloomberg: Never heard of them.
That breaking window AI is soooo Overkill! To solve a simple issue, Standard burglar alarms cover most! Baby Monitors cover the baby crying!
Even better to scare off burglars than turning on lights: the sound of a gun cocking or its slide pulled and released.
Punting was the worst for me, wasn’t there 1 July 2018. This bring back memories
a bald guy developing a hairdryer for years
WRONG! The first electronic, programmable computer was the Atanasoff-Berry Computer.
Another mistake - re the colossus war computer, the blueprints were kept an a new version was built in secret.
You always go above and beyond on your videos. Well done!
Thank you very much Ashlee Vance and team Bloomberg.
What are you thanking him for? That AI is ready to take over the low wage workers' jobs? Who do you think would lose his job first in a corporation? Would it be the CEO of a corporation or the janitor of that corporation?!
Warm British beer !? Where the fuck are you ?
it's because he's ignorant - note their 2016 election candidates !
Bri-tish or Bri-shit ?
Last picture was a robot evading something I think. Cool videos keep them coming guy. Thank You😗😜
i love this show! i hope it never ends!
never until end
Hello World is amazing. The presenter has a great journalist style, that reminds me of the great Anthony Bourdain.
Keep up the interesting videos. Bravo!
I like Ashlee... he's the realest dude to do this kind of work.
Really well done and entertaining. Thanks
'Wizards and Warriors', 1987, NES: England
Keeping quantum computing simple: I've got a quantum computer that tells about the weather☀️ since I was a kid.
When the wind blows, the fan spins and colors change. So, that tells that it's a windy day.
If, with a few decades of technological development, humanity has managed to explore the smallest and greatest things in nature, I believe that in a couple of centuries we will be able to personally go to the closest stars and perform engineering and technology prodigies.
People only have the power if things are based on freedom open source software (libre) not propitiatory software.
Defend free speech - oppose software patents - boycott Microsoft, don't pay the Microsoft Tax.
fuckfannyfiddlefart and support Louis Rossmann, and jullian assangé....
The company that gave children invitation to do a hands-on activity with a computer is spelled like a Nigerian city but pronounced differently.
I'm not sure it's in a Muslim state?
My parents are from the Christian side of Nigeria.
These are the best documentaries!
Suggesting people can't name a single tech product or startup from the UK? That was laughable. Amazing how close minded some americans can be. Nothing exists outside of the US to you.
England!!!!!! Remind me to refer to the USA as California.
Or 'America'
I can’t wait to visit the Dallas in California
California is a shitty 3rd world state that also happens to house the most millionaires/ billionaires.
Yeah but a lot of scots seem to not like us and usually only refer to themselves as scottish and not british. It's only the welsh and the northern irish who like us
Lol wow, interviewed one of the largest chip producers three years ago and ONLY 282k views... what a FLOP!
I see what you tried to do there... HA!
The Brits persecuted Turing as well.
We did, obviously today we think that is absolutely awful, we've all moved on a lot since those days.
@@philosuileabhain861 pffff, posthumous....
The UK is not England ffs.
Sick, the cultural imperatives that lead to tech industry success are national are they? What a very progressive moral to the story.
why don't you do a piece on mammonet leveling tower of pisa. it seems right down their alley
... All I'm saying the concept of packet switching was developed at the National Physical laboratory in the 1960s, this is I've of the most important things to have to have a functioning internet. Also the internet...
24:00 just as I thought of an electric car with partnership from Dyson.
and now they stooped
Wow Bloomberg, you have a winner with Mr Vance
Charles Babbage computer was badass to construct
Talking and bragging about the sole British undisputed tech titan ARM, the colosal chip designer that have no competitor at the global scale.
Yet as usual as the British thing....they sell it for a few bucks...to the Japanese.
Tell me how many British valuable company that still in British hands...?
Not much left isn't it...?
Valuable or not they just sell everything that worth a penny or a buck.
I don't know for how long McLaren and Dyson's shareholders can stand for the lure of a few dollars that offered to them to let go off their hard built company...
Ashlee, please include Perpetuus Advanced Materials in Newport, Wales for your next visit on world changing technology in UK!
The UK invented the world and then gave it up to play cricket and dream about living in Downton Abbey
The over educated and over privileged idiot Etonian elites gave it up.
@8:11 , mentioning coding and showing a booting of system is not justifiable(specially a booting process of Linux system). Please be thorough with your content what Bloomberg wants to show.
Incredible, not a mention of the Spectrum ZX or Sir Clive Sinclair.
What about the MRI? Invented in little old Nottingham!
Going to the pub was about the most interesting part.
1:50 that's when i downvoted and closed the video.
Of the top of my head Commodore and Acorn
Also fucking Arm. You know that company that pretty much makes every processor in existence.
I watched it through, but it seems you made the smarter choice.
This presenter is unbearable, and his "arrogant American is catastrophically ignorant about the world" shtick is horribly off putting. He's also wrong about most of what he says, and his insistence on British culture being a huge hurdle for tech innovation is absolutely ludicrous. This Harvard Business Review study found that while neither the US or the UK ranked high in data-, tech- and business skills, the UK at least broke top 10 in data skills, while the US didn't break top ten in either of the three. Unsurprising to say the least, but that's coming from one of those quasi medieval European peasants that have to learn about the rest of the world, and apparently can't follow Ashlee's über cool American tech extraordinaire style.
Also un subbed, never been so enraged with a shitty peice of journalism as that before haha
"It's now the 3d best selling computer in the world, behind the mac and the pc." Wrong.... there is one form factor of computer (type) that outsells all other types/form factors. It's handheld and (many would argue improperly) called "the smartphone," and yes, this was true in 2016. In fact it's been true for much longer.
I wish they could defeat leukemia as well as predicting my favorite Bill Murray movie.
Bloomberg: I doubt many of you can name a single tech product or startup from this country.
ARM: come on, Bloomberg!
Well, outside of electrical engineers and computer scientists, who knows ARM is from the UK ? Would that even be anyone's first guess ?
@@TheNefastor plus ARM was bought by Japanese Softbank
@@reagancapwell685 ooh snap ! 😎
Nothing about the Archimedes ? SMH.
Great program
The smoke detector noise interpreter is stupid, just get better smoke detectors that integrate with a home management system.
Stupid? How about all the people that cannot afford upgrading appliances and fully integrated home management systems or cannot do any modifications to their rented flats?
@@threesixnine369six Many modern fire alarms are wirelessly linked already and the system proposed already requires leaving microphone devices in every room of the house.
LudvigIndestrucable so fuck all the people who cannot change any aspects of their rented accommodations, just because you think a product is stupid. Also, how much difference does it make to know which room is burning? You don’t need microphones everywhere, fire alarms are loud, one triggered alarm can be heard all over the place.
2:45 what the fuck is that? It's certainly not tea!
CAN DYSONS TURBINE BE RECONFIGURED AS A DYNAMO?
This will be one of those documentaries to look at in six years after the impact of Brexit, And 10 years after this was made to see the horrible damage the Brexit had brought. What could have been.....
ARM company was sold before Brexit and now foreigners are selling it around like old furniture.
Arm was sold to a firm in Japan and is now selling 25% of arm to a Saudi fund..
Thanks for this great educational, informational and even inspirational video.
Great job to all involved.
Oh, "inspirational?" Is it inspirational that AI would ultimately replace middle class Brits? Think of it, who would primarily benefit from this new gadgetry? The corporations who will undoubtedly replace their workers, to whose ranks you and I belong! Who do you think the corporations of this world would replace in favor of AI?
Do you think their Board of Governors are first to be replaced or is it more likely that their custodial workers are first to lose their jobs? Don't be so eager to celebrate these newly found "discoveries!"
Things that should make all of us say: Hmm!
@@homayounshirazi9550 Yes it could go that way but it could also go the way that the improvements in automated industries means that we the consumer pay less than what we used to pay and overall a world where less human labour is required is a world that we live in.
The masses will riot and revolt if the corporations get to greedy and it turns into david and goliath our society will naturally put them back in check or so I need to hope so otherwise yes our future reality is a very grim grim one indeed.
Kingdom's Tech Renaissance with made in USA boards ?
Yes Dyson is, as we speak, developing a wheeled hair dryer.
Connect 4 has been solved...
If you go first and play the outside and your opponent doesn't make a mistake you cannot win.
If you go first and play the centre and you don't make a mistake you cannot lose.
Acorn.
Or course this AI isn't in the little cheap interface in your home (Alexa) it requires the internet to function because it'd be far too expensive to have any real computing power in a tiny Alexa, it's all done in a super computer in some Server somewhere.
1:50 Wow that was not only insulting but extremely ignorant
11:56 yes Statham, ikr 😂
Hobbs Shaw‘s techie cousin
Aggravating: the first five minutes is time-wasting super boring baloney of advertising for himself. Apparently, he had little news and had to spread it over half an hour. It is an extremely slow, low information video. There is talk but almost no information. That is OK if the talk is talking unexpected turns or intellectually stimulating roads and byroads, like Stephen Fry knows to do. He can talk about nothing for an hour and mesmerise his audience. I have no time for this low-IQ nonsense. and stopped watching after 7 minutes.
lol the concept of AI having any sort of independence from the original designer proves it's fraudulent
Great video. Thanks
Lol, the noblest profession is not a Journalist they are the biggest jokers of this century.
Journalists, especially those in the western countries, are now employees of highly politicized corporations who own these "Journalists." They don't dare cross their employers for the sake of journalistic fairness. In US, Fox "News" is the official Trump Administration's mouthpiece and the same is true for the others who are owned by Rupert Murdoch's money. CNN, CBS, and NBC all criticise Trump but when it comes to fair reporting on the News from the west Asian countries, they are all pro-Trump regime and quick to disseminate fake news broadcasts by Washington's Nazi regime. We are not fooled by any of them except for the red-necks of America who are staunch supporters of the Orange Hairdo!
when a angry baby throws a smoke alarm through window. 19:06
Perfect software for detecting that.
