This was a particularly weak presentation . . . of great subject matter. It was not clear that the Professor ever discussed how he selected the "inventions" he discussed, such as Personal Computing, The Model T, Pagodas and Cathedrals over others.
Other Review:
"When I saw the first description of this course, I ordered it immediately. It is a subject of great interest, but I found the course was not quite what I expected. It is stronger on the cultural and social implications of inventions, but generally weaker on the scientific explanations. In some cases, the descriptions are so vague and sketchy as to be of little use.
Part of this is just due to having topics that need more than merely 30 minutes to discuss and evaluate. More time would have made a big difference.
