  • This is a funny graph. What’s the Y-axis? Why the hell DVDs are a bigger innovation than a Steam Engine or a Light Bulb? It has a way bigger increase on the Y-axis.

    In fact, the top 3 innovations since 1400 according to the chart are

    1. Microprocessors
    2. Man on Moon
    3. DVDs

    And I find it funny that in the year 2025 there are no people on the Moon and most people do not use DVDs anymore.

    And speaking of Microprocessors, why the hell Transistors are not on the chart? Or even Computers in general? Where did the humanity placed their Microprocessors before Apple Macintosh was designed (this is an innovation? IBM PC was way more impactful…)

    Such a funny chart you shared. Great joke!
