Modern Marvels - Great Inventions (2005) [DVD]

Description: This popular A&E program documents mankind's greatest "Eureka!" moments via a study of the most important modern inventions, creations that have helped to shape the world as we know it. Segments focus on the printing press, the steam engine, the jet airplane and the Internet, to name a few, with special emphasis on the ground-breaking pioneers and processes behind these critical technological advances.

Personal Comments: This is most definitely the mainstream version of history portrayed here but it is still interesting to watch. Interesting how the greatest inventor that has ever lived, Nikola Tesla, barely even gets a passing mention here and of course they give credit for his inventions to others which is typical in mainstream history whitewash docs.
