Have you seen the illuminated micro-particle tractor-beam system of 3D image projection? It's amazing, it truly has the potential to make those sci-fi projections a reality.
I told them long ago, heck way before AC: Origins. Even before it was in its original Development Cycle that there is more to it than just those surface things. I belive some truely loyal readers of my Comments might even have read those. And now they are selling it as their own discovery. I'll bet once they found that Artifact inside they also will sell it as their own.
@Vsauce2 You said the great pyramids are the "oldest wonder of the world"... that's false. Gobekli tepe is older than the great pyramids by 8,000 years.
I LOVE the throwback videos you put at the end! It's amazing to see how those in the past imagined the future, and how incredibly accurate they was in some ways, and incredibly off in others. Mind-blowing!
Semu Robo also computers are doing jobs they couldn't have dreamed of like Crypto-currency mining. I say it was mostly dead on. The execution wasn't great though.
I beg to differ. Most of the food we eat today is pre processed, pre cooked, and pre packaged. All done by automated processes controlled by the computer. There is a microwave in the kitchen and some of the ingredients are already prepped for the dish you are trying to make. The whole plugging the food into an outlet and cooking itself is what I think the microwave does. As far the paper goes, some of it made from biodegradable materials.
I actually went to the DFKI (Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz or German Research Central for Artificial Intelligence) and they showed me those robots, they have 2 Interesting Parts about them: 1. They were made by an Evolutionary Program, so they had a computer programm Wich tested different styles and then told the Scientists Wich one was most energy efficient and works the best. 2. They can upgrade themselve, I'm minute 5:20 you can see a little box in that Robot/Car, that box is an Energy Box, but it can be replaced (by the big robot you saw earlier) by a Mechanic arm, so it can upgrade itself depending what mission it has to do! Btw you make great Videos greetings from Germany!
Hmm, hard to tell, but judging by the amount of Chinese people, it's worth a try. It also depends on the subject you want to study. Computer science is one of the category "Sure you can start, but a third of you won't survive the first math exams".
Nope Austria, lol-ing because I think that was interesting and kind of surprising for me, that they are so leading in technology... But then again, they do a lot of valuable research and spend billions of money ^^
My main concern with hand-related tech is whether it will be harder to use for people with hyperhydrosis (naturally sweaty hands, even in the absence of stress). Currently it causes problems with touchscreens and fingerprint recognition but that's about it, and the only ways to deal with it are either A: a pretty extreme and risky form of surgery (which can also be expensive in countries where this is not covered by public healthcare), or B: using aluminium chloride products at very high concentrations, which has the side effect of causing skin irritation or extreme dryness. CRISPR can you fix these sweaty genes? Or maybe we can go back to talcum-based solutions?
@Dman Microwaves were definitely not around back then (unless if you were part of the 1%). They existed since the 1940s but Microwaves were waaaaay too expensive and it did become cheaper by the late 1970s so their popularity rised but it only became common in the mid 1980s where about 1 in 4 households owned a microwave. By 1997, 9 out of 10 households owned a microwave.
Thanks! I'm actually developing a new show right now. I was able to hire a friend to help with Mind Blow so I can keep those uploads coming while I work on my bigger projects. :)
For things long term, yeah that's pointless. But for things like quick pasta pots or sandwiches when you're on the go, it makes perfect sense for you to eat the package. So much wasted plastic these days...
I hate it when things like skillshare are only for people with a credit card. They're not populair here so I, like pretty much everyone else here, don't have one.
We can make fun of people who lived in previous ages, but goddamn did they have some great ideas we haven't implemented or thought to implement. It takes a lack of technology to fuel technology, which is self evident but not thought of in most cases.
As for packaging that turns into food, we had that 4 decades back in the military. We were often fed something that very closely resembled cardboard several times a week.
50 years from now all the robots we make now will seem like nothing. The people watching these old clips of robots being first developed will laugh at us for thinking we were advanced. Just as we do now while looking at the last clip.
I have some very good and interesting questions: How did we first ''teach'' a computer, or rather a CPU, to recognize numbers and letters(etc), just with electric impulses? How did we even get this ''Mind Blow'' idea anyway?? And how did they manage to write(?) a ''software'' into it? I really want to know this! :(
Lucian Andries This explanation is kinda long so bear with me, we can "teach" to a computer to recognize anything through neural networks (NN for short) these NN can learn through trial and error with a thing called machine learning (which is basically how all the NN can learn things) that simulates our neurons activity, each time we introduce an input (like an image for example), the NN set the values with random numbers at the beggining (this is called first generation), everytime the NN gets a higher score it's rewarded by a algorithm that basically said the NN "this is good", then it discard the values that gets low score and keep the ones that had higher values and repeats the process thousands of times till it gets better results with a lot of changes (the more generations the NN does, the better).
Yes, but how did we teach the CPU algorithms, machine learning and other basic stuff? Your explanation is way farther in time... I'm interested in how we created the first chip, and how tf did we programmed it... Basically, the point in time when ''the apple fell onto our head''. :)
You're right, computers just can treat electric impulses: 1s (current) and 0s (no current). That point in time you're looking for is the introduction of the Logic Gates (google it) that enables you to treat with binary arithmetic operations: First came the NAND gate, then the Half Adder logic circuit, then the Full Adder logic circuit, then the ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit). After that you discover that a circuit can store "memory" that you can read and write from. You can store in there a so called "microcode" to tell which circuits and which gates enable each time for different inputs (in this case the commands) to carry out the requested operation, and you now have a CPU. This thing is very big circuit that can execute commands and treat data, all encoded as binary numbers. The next step is naturally to program something that the CPU can read and execute one command at a time; the commands don't need to be read sequentially because you can "jump" from one command in memory to another, if requested. And on and on and on...
This is the most in depth I could find about computer history...: ruclips.net/video/VPDy2y4AjSo/видео.html Giovanni: Thanks. I'll look for this as well. I know how a CPU and Memory is made nowadays, more ore less. But how we program them, is the thing that escapes me. And with your info, maybe I can finally fill in the blanks. :)
first question: we programmed and built them to be able to use binary systems as numbers and do operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, where it got gradually more and more complex
if you stapped a bettery powered projector running from your phone onto your head, you wouldn't have to hold your phone / tablet infront of your face. anyone else think that would be cool?
Every time I watch Mind Blow, my mind doesn't get blown by the new technology that pops up, I guess it's because I kinda expect everything in this day and age. My mind gets blown at what it used to be 50 years ago and all of then's "new" technology.
Mr Dreyfuss at the end of the video worried about waste paper but not about waste disposable electrical cables :D Still his ideas about the future, it's just surreal how we are living it right now. I just love those videos, and the robots of course. Thanks Kevin!
6:04 Big Deal. Just take a look at RUclips comments, roosters aren't the only animals capable of blocking their ears when they vocalize in order to not hear themselves.
Ever since Vsauce launched and then Vsauce2 with its "Mindblow" series.. I've aways hoped and wished there were more youtube channels set up in this same format but regarding different subjects.. like a mindblwo for just music, hunting, fishing, cooking, building, planting, etc... Am I right?
I have to say, RUclips just kinda been blah. Like, when RUclips first blew up it was great, but now things kind of stagnant. To me it's like, there's all this technology you talk about, most of which I'm still waiting to see. I however, find myself watching the mindblow religiously again with the inclusion of old ads. Those are sick. Keep up good work! Ps: should get da boys to release a DVD of mind blow
WOW talk about skipping a major flaw in your logic there, buddy in the last clip. Edible package to reduce waste??? Not only would you eat a touched, dust and dirt covered package, but wtf happens to the "disposable plug" that you mentioned first??? What about THAT waste? Maybe you can eat it, old dude, but that's the true waste. At least paper can biodegrade in nature, it's like this man doesn't even know shit.
The jazz classical thing might be how each plays music, since jazz players probably learn a lot of unusual improvision, they probably pick up different learning techniques
9:00 That absolutely makes sense. Today both basically the same thing. Your phone is a small computer and with Skype and other VoIP services you can call someone with your computer.
1:30 MISSED opportunity! They could have had a recursive acronym instead.
6 лет назад
Proprietary software is immoral software. Why did you have to end your video with that? Why not advise an open-source Non-Linear Video Editor like Blender or kdenlive?
I wonder if the whole rooster hearing thing explains why us men can't hear our wives when they start to talk. When our wives mouths open our internal ear hole closes up. lol
"By the 21st century home computers may be as common as today's telephone." Actually by the 21st century, your phone will be your personal computer, and each person in the house will have at least one of those.
So I went and signed up for that Skillshare thing but I"m only getting one month; never saw anything about 3 months for 99 cents. Is it not live anymore?
I want an Anscomatic now.
Get it now for only $11.95

What a deal!
$11.95 down payment

dragonite is charizard with down syndrome
man i am starving, i could really go for some heated packaging right now.
have a tide pod
Jake .B Dank 😂
Ha! Me too lol.
A heated package you say... 😏
imagine how much better off we'd be if we didn't poison the earth with plastic packaging.
Mindblow videos fill me with hope and wonder in a time when all-pervasive, violent power structures seem rigid and stale.
it's scary how accurate that old commercial was at the end of the video
the unibrow on the robot helper makes it look disgruntled all the time
Have you seen the illuminated micro-particle tractor-beam system of 3D image projection? It's amazing, it truly has the potential to make those sci-fi projections a reality.
That last robot looks awesome and a bit terrifying
How about a joke version of mind blow, where you show how these things detach us from reality (sometimes).
When i se films from When camras was only in black and whait i always think like i live back then. AT 3:37 that thing makes me want one emedietly!
I think a chemist/nurse has a better than average smell sense.
Ok the rooster protect its ears when it crows but what if another rooster crows right besides it
I told them long ago, heck way before AC: Origins. Even before it was in its original Development Cycle that there is more to it than just those surface things. I belive some truely loyal readers of my Comments might even have read those. And now they are selling it as their own discovery.
I'll bet once they found that Artifact inside they also will sell it as their own.
@Vsauce2 You said the great pyramids are the "oldest wonder of the world"... that's false. Gobekli tepe is older than the great pyramids by 8,000 years.
Missed the show ♡
Those past predictions of the future clips always got me fucked up and today was no exception
The files are _IN_ the computer?
Have you heard of the AI making AIs
Does Kevin have a hand/skin fetish...I'm honestly curious because he's featured so many hand/skin improving products that I'm at an actual loss. XD
I can only afford mini-lessons. :(
I LOVE the throwback videos you put at the end! It's amazing to see how those in the past imagined the future, and how incredibly accurate they was in some ways, and incredibly off in others. Mind-blowing!
That ending was exceptionally interesting.
and spot on
Little did he know that in the 21st century people would eat tide pods ...
Rupert No it wasn't... Do you plug in your food? Does the packaging turn into the food? How is that spot on?
Sylas the Great again Tide pods. We just need to plug them in now.
RB but the packaging doesn't turn into the food so no.
I am amazed by how accurate the Last clip predicted our modern day world
yes, I'm plugging my lasagna into the wall right now, love the taste of melted plastic.
You clearly didn't watch all of it...
not completely accurate but the bit about computers in the home was.
The bit about the food being better at the supermarket because we perfected te recipe sounds logical but is as untrue as it can be.
Semu Robo also computers are doing jobs they couldn't have dreamed of like Crypto-currency mining. I say it was mostly dead on. The execution wasn't great though.
1967: People in the 21st century will eat self-cooking food with edible packaging.
2018: People eat Tide Pods.
And as always....thanks for uploading!
that last video is suprisling true about the computer, not so much about the cooking
I beg to differ. Most of the food we eat today is pre processed, pre cooked, and pre packaged. All done by automated processes controlled by the computer. There is a microwave in the kitchen and some of the ingredients are already prepped for the dish you are trying to make. The whole plugging the food into an outlet and cooking itself is what I think the microwave does. As far the paper goes, some of it made from biodegradable materials.
although NO ONE had a GIANT typewriter in their kitchen, even in 2001! 😂
An Alt the 21st century isn't over yet! So just you wait!!
Joonas Halpin true
Francisco Villa I guess in some ways thats plugging in
The home computer is just a fad, it'll never catch on
Computers will never take over such dynamic jobs involving physical activity like long haul trucking and taxi driver
Bleedshark the internet as well such a useless tool
Supreme Leader Snoke , I just hope that was sarcasm
No joke, I have a relative that went to school and had professors tell them this exact statement. The relative proved them way wrong.
At least one of these robots will malfunction and be lost in the pyramid for future generations to believe Egyptian used robotics in 2500 BC.
XD that would be lol
Helicard lmao comment for the year 4018
"Okay, are you done?"
"Almost. All 3 robots are back, I still need to merge the data."
"What do you mean, 3 robots?"
"What?"
"...We only sent two."
dum da DUM!
Carbon dating would prove that wrong. So its very unlikely for sure.
I love that you guys show this temporal perspective past/(and this futuristic) present. And thank you for being awesome over these years.
I actually went to the DFKI (Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz or German Research Central for Artificial Intelligence) and they showed me those robots, they have 2 Interesting Parts about them:
1. They were made by an Evolutionary Program, so they had a computer programm Wich tested different styles and then told the Scientists Wich one was most energy efficient and works the best.

Btw you make great Videos greetings from Germany!
wow that's awesome
Erik Uden
I love the endings to these videos. Seeing clips from the 50's and 60's, and just realizing how far we've actually come since. It's incredible really.
People don't really change throughout the ages. What changes are the things that people interact with.
NO WAY! Mind Blow showed something from my university (KIT)? So cool. I'm actually writing my master's theory in computer science right now.
Lugmillord I was thinking about applying there! How hard is it to get in from abroad? (US)
Found that really cool as well :)
Hmm, hard to tell, but judging by the amount of Chinese people, it's worth a try. It also depends on the subject you want to study. Computer science is one of the category "Sure you can start, but a third of you won't survive the first math exams".
I'm thinking engineering, electrical and computer. Maybe i'll apply once I finish my maths in the US first!
My Mind got Blown away too. I'm currently studying Mechanical Engineering there
Lol so much research from Netherlands and Germany... O_o
Frank Meyer
Funny, isn't it???
But seriously why are you "lol"-ing about that? :P
True that!
I was oddly excited to see the name and silly turquoise color of my university :D
Are you from Germany?
Nope Austria, lol-ing because I think that was interesting and kind of surprising for me, that they are so leading in technology... But then again, they do a lot of valuable research and spend billions of money ^^
Fand es auch krass zu sehen, dass das ding vom KIT kommt.
The dude at the end just described microwaved Ramen.
I have missed you Vsauce2 ❤️
My main concern with hand-related tech is whether it will be harder to use for people with hyperhydrosis (naturally sweaty hands, even in the absence of stress). Currently it causes problems with touchscreens and fingerprint recognition but that's about it, and the only ways to deal with it are either A: a pretty extreme and risky form of surgery (which can also be expensive in countries where this is not covered by public healthcare), or B: using aluminium chloride products at very high concentrations, which has the side effect of causing skin irritation or extreme dryness.
CRISPR can you fix these sweaty genes? Or maybe we can go back to talcum-based solutions?
Those predictions at the end were eerily close to what we have today...
minus the food thing
Well the execution of the idea was kinda of but we do have microwavable pre-made food
Microwaves were around back then. The thing im talking about is the inbuilt plugs and the package becomes the food.
Oh well yeah that was totally off I meant that there's something similar to it like 5 min microwave meal
@Dman
Microwaves were definitely not around back then (unless if you were part of the 1%). They existed since the 1940s but Microwaves were waaaaay too expensive and it did become cheaper by the late 1970s so their popularity rised but it only became common in the mid 1980s where about 1 in 4 households owned a microwave. By 1997, 9 out of 10 households owned a microwave.
That 67 video about edible food packaging with a electric plug. Where can i buy those :/
Fun fact! “This Baby is now 83”
I'm excited for your next major upload. Hopefully we don't have to wait too long.
Thanks! I'm actually developing a new show right now. I was able to hire a friend to help with Mind Blow so I can keep those uploads coming while I work on my bigger projects. :)
That wake visualisation was awesome
Found you here
Thank you for blowing my mind!
I specially like those bits from the past, where people where taling about techonlogy and predictions for the future!!
You should do a series on just old tech commercials/infomercial
8:25 dam Johnny 5 u been working out?
I never realized that the mindblow theme is in 7/4
"when the package is heated it would turn into part of the food"
nope, not there yet, unless... don't tell me you been eating the package o.O
kind of counters the point of packaging if it has the same date of expiring as the food thats packaged.
For things long term, yeah that's pointless. But for things like quick pasta pots or sandwiches when you're on the go, it makes perfect sense for you to eat the package. So much wasted plastic these days...
could it be done? maybe we have been overlooking a solution here for a lot of years.
something that is unable until heated up.
S1nwar Just wait for it, there's still the rest of the century left guys.
I hate it when things like skillshare are only for people with a credit card. They're not populair here so I, like pretty much everyone else here, don't have one.
Anything Master Chief for mind blow 117?
Damn the end... soo true
Unknown Warrior Yep, I plugged in my frozen burritos right now! The package is still turning into the food though...
Holy shit the end was so cool
Is anybody here in 2021?
We can make fun of people who lived in previous ages, but goddamn did they have some great ideas we haven't implemented or thought to implement. It takes a lack of technology to fuel technology, which is self evident but not thought of in most cases.
As for packaging that turns into food, we had that 4 decades back in the military. We were often fed something that very closely resembled cardboard several times a week.
50 years from now all the robots we make now will seem like nothing. The people watching these old clips of robots being first developed will laugh at us for thinking we were advanced. Just as we do now while looking at the last clip.
Those kids at the end are over 60 years old now.
What ever happened to Mind Blow? How did Kevin conduct his research and find clips for the episodes?
I miss Mind Blow :(
I'm watching them talk about using computers for school on a school computer.
I love vsauce2
More mind blow PLEEEAAASE!
I have some very good and interesting questions:
How did we first ''teach'' a computer, or rather a CPU, to recognize numbers and letters(etc), just with electric impulses? How did we even get this ''Mind Blow'' idea anyway??
And how did they manage to write(?) a ''software'' into it? I really want to know this! :(
Lucian Andries This explanation is kinda long so bear with me, we can "teach" to a computer to recognize anything through neural networks (NN for short) these NN can learn through trial and error with a thing called machine learning (which is basically how all the NN can learn things) that simulates our neurons activity, each time we introduce an input (like an image for example), the NN set the values with random numbers at the beggining (this is called first generation), everytime the NN gets a higher score it's rewarded by a algorithm that basically said the NN "this is good", then it discard the values that gets low score and keep the ones that had higher values and repeats the process thousands of times till it gets better results with a lot of changes (the more generations the NN does, the better).
Yes, but how did we teach the CPU algorithms, machine learning and other basic stuff? Your explanation is way farther in time... I'm interested in how we created the first chip, and how tf did we programmed it...
Basically, the point in time when ''the apple fell onto our head''. :)

Giovanni: Thanks. I'll look for this as well. I know how a CPU and Memory is made nowadays, more ore less. But how we program them, is the thing that escapes me. And with your info, maybe I can finally fill in the blanks. :)
first question: we programmed and built them to be able to use binary systems as numbers and do operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, where it got gradually more and more complex
I really miss these episodes 😭
Bring back Mind blown!
Goddamit now I want one of those teletype terminals too!

Of course how a person lives effects how a person smells. As any homeless person and you will find out very quickly.
I wish I was smart enough to work in research. It's so cool what they come up with.
8:08 you're goddamn right I wanted that.
That ending is deep.
These are always so good. Great series.

Still his ideas about the future, it's just surreal how we are living it right now. I just love those videos, and the robots of course. Thanks Kevin!
you forgot to mention those pyramid discoveries were already built in the game that launched days before in Assassins Creed origins
6:04 Big Deal. Just take a look at RUclips comments, roosters aren't the only animals capable of blocking their ears when they vocalize in order to not hear themselves.
Ever since Vsauce launched and then Vsauce2 with its "Mindblow" series.. I've aways hoped and wished there were more youtube channels set up in this same format but regarding different subjects.. like a mindblwo for just music, hunting, fishing, cooking, building, planting, etc... Am I right?
No “Hey Vsauce Kevin here” at the beginning?
$11.95 in 1950 had the same buying power as $124.83 in 2018
Annual inflation over this period was about 3.51%
"dollartimes.com/inflation"
Packages collect dust when stored for long periods... I can't imagine how the food would taste with a hint of dirty packaging wrapped around it
I have to say, RUclips just kinda been blah. Like, when RUclips first blew up it was great, but now things kind of stagnant. To me it's like, there's all this technology you talk about, most of which I'm still waiting to see. I however, find myself watching the mindblow religiously again with the inclusion of old ads.

10:05 "You might even eat the package" .. well my "friend" used to eat the popcorn bag when the popcorn was done. That counts.
The jazz classical thing might be how each plays music, since jazz players probably learn a lot of unusual improvision, they probably pick up different learning techniques
9:00 That absolutely makes sense. Today both basically the same thing.
Your phone is a small computer and with Skype and other VoIP services you can call someone with your computer.
1:30 MISSED opportunity! They could have had a recursive acronym instead.
Proprietary software is immoral software. Why did you have to end your video with that? Why not advise an open-source Non-Linear Video Editor like Blender or kdenlive?
I think Henry Dreyfus is on to something here! Imagine a TV dinner you can just plug into your computer with a USB cable!
Actually, why don't we have edible packages yet? That sounds like a brilliant idea!
I actually like the somewhat new formula :D Keep it up, please! :D
I dont have 99 cents, you know why? Because it is equal to my 1 day's breakfast + lunch! I can however spare 1 cent.
Edible packaging.... I’m actually surprised more haven’t capitalized on this idea by now.
I wonder if the whole rooster hearing thing explains why us men can't hear our wives when they start to talk. When our wives mouths open our internal ear hole closes up. lol
9:14 - "children of the 21st century will be educated by computers."
Oh, you have no idea how right you'll be.
Great video! (except for the Adobe plug. When they started only renting software you could never own they became evil.)
"By the 21st century home computers may be as common as today's telephone." Actually by the 21st century, your phone will be your personal computer, and each person in the house will have at least one of those.
So I went and signed up for that Skillshare thing but I"m only getting one month; never saw anything about 3 months for 99 cents. Is it not live anymore?
I'm loving the Mind Blow, it reminds me of "Daily Dose of Internet" but exclusively about science!
that last clip was amazing
Dolphins can recognize themselves in mirrors before human babies!!! With this information we can can can. I don’t know
