Yesterday, Tomorrow and You

Part of the Series: Connections

In the final episode of this series, Burke recaps the theme that change causes more change. Burke ties together the modern inventions in which previous episodes had culminated: telecommunications, the computer, the jet engine, plastics, rockets, television, the production line, and the atomic bomb. He ultimately points out that all of these inventions come together in the B-52 nuclear bomber, and closes out the series by ruminating on the concept of change itself.
