This looks suspiciously like the "thread of love" in the Forum Games section.

I guess Birth of a Nation (DW Griffith's 1915 horribly racist, silent era epic) gave us modern-day montage techniques?

The internet is pretty fantastic......

The internet. Originally developed for war to be a survivable network capable of functioning even if some of its elements were destroyed. But since that one was already spotted. I'd have to say #2 is the Microwave. Developed from Radar, or atleast the discovery of large numbers of cooked birds near radar stations.

Organ transplants are possible because of the surgical methods developed to extract bullets from people.

I love that thread! You revived it? :-D

We all wouldn't have 90% of everything if the United Kingdom hadn't started the Opium War. After that, things fall apart in China, and later on, everyone's got a stake in China.

(Feel free to correct me; my history's quite rusty.)

Well one was after the Titanic sank the building regulations for ocean liners and other ships changed. Before you could only have a maximum of 32 lifeboats, but after it sank the requirement changed to require ships to have as many lifeboats as passengers. After it sank the Titanic's sister ships Britanic and Olympic were outfitted with 64 lifeboats. Ironically Britanic still sank after it hit an undersea mine. >.>

The 1st opium war started in in 1839 by then the industrial revolution was well under way. The British had already taken India and was in the process of taking large chunks of Africa. China was technologically inferior to western powers by the 1830s. This is part was due to the imperial court failing to modernise.
