HOW WE INVENTED THE WORLD examines four inventions that define the modern world: cell phones, cars, planes, and skyscrapers. Each 60-minute episode features one invention, exploring the stories and seemingly random events that ultimately led to the creation of these iconic inventions. Plus, this series reveals the people behind these innovations, highlighting stories of human ingenuity, extraordinary connections, unprecedented experimentation, and jaw-dropping events that have shaped the world. Discovery aired the U.S. premiere of this series on Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 9pm ET/PT, showing back-to-back episodes, and again showing back-to-back episodes at 9pm ET/PT the following week. Three months later on Friday, June 14, at 10pm ET/PT, Discovery began airing weekly U.S. premieres of additional episodes of this series.
