Summary Ideas that changed the world - Michael Mosley and team pick 12 inventions and explore how they have changed the way we live our lives. In Speed they explain how some of these inventions came about - from sparks of genius to steady incremental improvements hammered out in workshops - and separate myth from reality in the lives of the great inventors. The second programme, Speed, reveals the fascinating chain of events that made global travel possible and looks at the genius behind some of the greatest inventions of our time.
