Connections Episode 1: The Trigger Effect (1978) [video]
Undoubtedly James Burke is the reason I give a shit about history at all today (without which one cannot really have a meaningful grasp on the current world or its inhabitants, IMO). I was lucky enough to be exposed to these at a young age.I have a directory on my file server with local copies of everything he ever released.If you’ve never watched this or The Day The Universe Changed, please do. (I say this as someone who hates TV.)
