100 Years in 10 Minutes (1911 - 2011 in 10 Minutes)
100 Years in 10 Minutes (1911 - 2011 in 10 Minutes)
Compilation of the last 100 years.
Very nice video, though some of the events mentioned seemed less important than other historical events that were never mentioned. But it being a youtube piece, its all up to the authors opinion.
Watching that though, its funny how things have changed over the last century, and yet some things are consistant throughout the years. hhmm.
The video is fascinating and well done. Two thoughts though:
1. The Lewinsky scandal and inauguration of Obama (Or any one president frankly)...are they really that big of a deal?
2. The only achievement collectively in the realm of arts, music, architecture etc is the opening of the Empire State building.
I was thinking that aswell, though, Clinton was close to impeachment at the time.Originally Posted by Rattfink
As for Obama : first black president of the US ?
Nelson Mandela was not mentioned either, which is around the time of the Clinton issue. Then their was Beslan, and i dont remember seeing the Soviet/Afghan War, or the Iran/Iraq war for that matter.hhmmm
Well their is only so much he could put in 10 minutes, good video nonetheless.
I agree with you, it's a good video and it's up to his author to decide what has to be in there.
frankly, its quite poor
work quality of a 9th grader
These along with quite a few others like 7/7 ands Mumbai but as stated there is not enough room for everything.
I took video production in 9th grade and no one made anything this good.
Thought provoking but it focused far too much on conflict and the negatives of humanity. Where were antibiotics? The telephone? The transistor? The PC? DNA sequencing? Cloning? The invention of radio? TV? Bakelite, polystyrene, poly vinyl chloride? The internet? Al Gore's Internet? The jet engine? GPS? These things have affected my life a lot more than some German football victory (which I had never even heard of until this video) or Monica Lewinski.
I noted after watching the first 3 minutes that this was probably uploaded by a German thus showing a pretty much German perspective on events.
The catalyst to the whole video was the music, dramatic stuff. I think it was in a Chris Nolan movie.
I think despite the details in science, civil rights, and sports, the theme the author was getting at was mankinds potential for violence in an already violent planet. IDK...
I suppose - but that's rather easy isn't it? It's the road most traveled in these kind of retrospectives - we have lots of sexy video of stuff blowing up. Man is so bad, blah blah - yeah we get it.
But in reality, we're much more about life, and improving it - things like plastic, antibiotics, chemistry, engineering- are elemental to our existence and I wouldn't call them details. Without them, my life expectancy goes back down to 50, where it was in 1911. That would mean I only had 2 years left, which would be a bummer, since my car isn't paid off yet. I guess I kind of look at war as the detail - speed bumps on a much larger road.
