"By 1400 what had started as a machine to tell people when to pray had become a machine for telling people when to work"

Clip from James Burke Connections
The video is exactly 10 minutes, but they could possibly be the most mind blowing ten minutes of your life. At least they were for me. Always a fan of learning something new Burke constantly is informing me of new things.

This is from Season 1, Episode 5. It can be viewed at full length here.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was hoping that some better connections vids would turn up! I was trying to find some a while back, but none of them were cut in a very good way. I have been meaning to cut a clip out of the last episode of the day the universe changed and upload it for somebody else to sift, but i keep forgetting. Thanks for finding this.

I watched the series when TLC first put it on in Canada probably around when i was in grade 9 or 10, and it really shaped my view of things. Awesome.

I had the exact same experience with Burke's Connections on tlc during the same period in my life too. The man is a friggin god as far as I'm concerned.
