The top ten inventions post got me interested in learning how they were invented, and I especially like the explanation of the invention of the television--not to mention it was invented by Philo Farnworth, a "Mormon"!

I thought this was pretty cool. It gives a lay out of which people pioneered different ideas that eventually turned into our modern day computers!

It's the largest society/group dedicated to an author. Do you think Thoreau knew living out by a pond for two years would get him this much attention?

Oh snap. Apparently America is in love with Tocqueville's explanation and narrative found in Democracy in America; however, it turns out that many of the lines people quote aren't actually in the book (or any of his writings for that matter).

Okay, so this is totally cool. C-SPAN is giving a tour of where Tocqueville himself went when he traveled across America writing his classic: Democracy in America. Sign me up!

This went along with the idea of moving to the far west. Manifest Destiny is the idea that the United States was destined to cover all of North America.

The history on this site was really cool to read. Open source was basically created to dispel the monopolies that were being created by automobile developers.
