    This blog post is essentially a summary of the original video.

      To my mind, this blog post had the same stilted, mechanical feel that those all talk YouTube commercials have, even when they're in an Australian accent. Nothing very bad or very good, just mid phrasing and vocabulary.

    for a moment I thought this was going to be about arc-lights in the 1800s that mechanically touch electrodes and then draw apart

    it's amazing how far we've come

    think about Benjamin Franklin twenty-five years before Declaration of Independence naming the first "battery" (out of the concept of lined-up artillery) by connecting a series of lynden jars (basically capacitors) - he also invented the concept of +/- positive and negative

    now we've got space telescopes and probes leaving the solar system

    imagine what's coming in another 300 years

      > naming the first "battery" (out of the concept of lined-up artillery)

      That's an amazing fun fact.
