Technology is developing rapidly nowadays, and if we look at the prototypes or the versions of some everyday objects available a few decades ago, we will hardly believe our eyes. The originals may look unsophisticated, funny, or awkward, but they paved the way for future technologies to come. We want to tell you about how some common things looked in the past and invite you to compare them with their existing counterparts. Did you know, for example, that the world's first smartphone was released in 1992, its popularity was short-lived because the battery lasted only an hour? The thing weighed almost as much as a basketball! The first electronic computer was the size of a room! It supposedly did more calculations over its 10 years in operation than all of humanity had done until its invention in 1946. The first commercial TV sets were created in 1934. The cheapest 12-inch model cost about $8,000 in the modern equivalent! #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More 40+ Oldest Things on Earth You’ve Never Seen Videos

Ticks aren’t just forest-dwellers. They’re everywhere! In the city park or your beautiful suburban yard. Where you’re not as likely to see one is crawling around on your walls. Like that guy out there. Wait, this is no tick – it’s a crab spider! Easily recognizable from his longer four arms in the front, and shorter four back legs. Like a crab, yes. Must’ve been what the scientist who named it thought too! But it’s mostly the way they move that won them the nickname – they walk sideways like a crab on the beach. From a distance, it looks like a tick. Up close, not really at all. The crab spider’s body is broken up into two sections, like any ol’ regular spidey. Looking closely at a tick, you’ll notice its body is just one solid flat piece. Now, grab a magnifying glass and look closer! You’ll see crab spiders have 8 eyes. Ticks have none. Remember, they see the world by smelling with their feet. Ticks are parasites. They feed on us and other animals like walking juice-boxes! A crab spider has no interest in your blood. So don’t be so rude as to squish them. They’re trying to keep your house clean! #brightside TIMESTAPMS:

How do electric eels generate electricity? Why do they don't hurt themselves with it? And did they really help to create batteries? By the way, an electric eel is not an eel at all. It’s a fish and it's closer to the carp or catfish family. An electric eel can't breathe in water like fish do. It needs to come up to the surface and breathe the air above. Besides, they jump out of the water to attack predators — this is their way of protecting themselves. The eels' electric power can reach more than 600 volts. This burst of energy is enough to knock an adult horse off its feet. Previously, when people discovered this fish for the first time, they placed it in an aquarium and transported it around the world. In Europe, the eel was shown at exhibitions, and people considered it a real monster. But thanks to science, we now know how this fish generates electricity. #brightside TIMESTAMPS:

Why are your eyes crusty in the morning? Sometimes this crust is almost like water, but sometimes it’s thicker, so thick you can’t open your eyes properly. It’s a natural function in our eyes and this crust has a purpose. But at the same time, it may also signal a problem. We're also very curious as to why this thing appears in our eyes, so we found out why it happens every time we wake up from sleeping. We're gonna dig into this! By the way, there are a lot of interesting facts about eyes that you probably didn’t know! For example, eyes are the second most complex organ in your body, after your brain of course. They consist of over 2 million working parts, and they stay the same size once you’re a teenager. And our eyes are ready for action, almost all the time. They heal pretty quickly; it takes around 2 days to repair a minor scratch. Eyes can process 36,000 bits of information an hour. They can see millions of different colors! #brightside TIMESTAMPS:

More Why Your Eyes Get Crusty When You Sleep Videos

Hey, welcome to Earth, 2050! You’re living in a world after the Great Temperature Shift of 2020. Days are as hot as they can be, and nights are just as cold. Humans have always depended on the environment, but now they’re more vulnerable than ever. They learned to deal with extreme cold and extreme heat. You don’t remember the world that used to be because you were born in the new climatic era. People don’t vacation to the beach anymore because the climate is pretty much the same everywhere. That, and you can’t fly anywhere. Air travel is a thing of the past since planes can’t take off in 100° weather. High heat means air is thinner, so the wings can’t produce lift. At least, that’s what your grandad told you – he was a pilot in the times before the Shift. Skiing, ice skating, and snowboarding are now done only at indoor artificial snow resorts. Skyscrapers are no more, and everything runs on solar power… #brightside We know how to lift your mood! Our App – https://bit.ly/3g9KM8j. —————————————————————————————-

More Could We Survive Super Hot Days and Cold Nights? Videos

Watch more videos in our new App: https://bit.ly/3g9KM8j Hey guys! Do you like time travel stories? An incredible one happened to me recently. I was sorting boxes in my grandpa's garage and came across an old calculator. I wanted to check if it was still working, so I gave it new batteries, pressed ON… and everything disappeared. It was so dark that I couldn't see anything around me. I had a slight feeling of being pushed somewhere. A moment later, I could see again. I wasn't in the garage anymore but standing in the middle of a narrow street. Walking around me were people dressed in kilt-like skirts and sandals. I looked around and, far away, I spotted a pyramid. Was it a Pyramid of Giza? Did that mean I was in Egypt? It seemed like the calculator was some sort of teleportation machine. But then another thought struck me: what if there was only one pyramid? There should have been three. This meant that the calculator didn't just teleport me through space, but through time, too. It was a time machine, and I was somewhere around 2550 B.C. when only one of Giza's great pyramids had been built! #brightside TIMESTAMPS:

More What If You Woke Up Surrounded By Dinosaurs Videos

Watch more videos in our new App: https://bit.ly/3g9KM8j For more than 200 years, Japan was in isolation from the rest of the world. There was very little trade and other relations with different countries. No foreigners were allowed to visit it and no common Japanese person was allowed to travel abroad. The locals could only imagine what life was like out there. In 1854, the isolation was finally over. They started signing trade treaties with other countries. One of the first on the list was the United States of America. And because e-mails and e-signatures weren’t really available back then, a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation was sent by ship in 1860. That was the first Japanese Embassy to the United States. The ambassadors left Yokohama for San Francisco by the end of January. It was a huge group of 96 people: the ambassador, vice-ambassador, several doctors, a couple of translators, barbers, cooks, servants, armorers, and samurai. One of them was Yukichi Fukuzawa who shared his impressions of the voyage and what they’d seen in America in his many books. #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
