It had futuristic house ideas and illustrations with 3d printers, robot cleaners, an animatronic (or holographic) pet dolphin, and a machine that could cook anything you ask for. I remember there was a section on what people in the past thought the future could hold, and one of the ideas was furniture you could hose down.
I think it had two covers, so if you flipped the magazine around there'd be another topic on the other cover and its related contents would go to about halfway through the book. I believe for one half of the magazine, some of the images could be enhanced by wearing these included 3d glasses.
Am I just imagining things or combining several nat geo kids editions into one? I swear this was a real edition and I want to see if anyone else remembers!
I have been searching for this TV show for a while and I can't find anything like it but it is there in my memory. I remember the inventors shown in the TV show. There was Blaise Pascal inventing the Pascaline, invention of Tyre, invention of Microwave Oven, invention of ball point pen. Can you please help me find the show?

... keep reading on reddit ➡Hi All,
There was a TV show (animated) which featured the following episodes( These are the episodes I remember ) :
1.Gutenberg Press
2.Wright Brothers
3.Edison & Light Bulb
4.Water Clock
I believe this was aired on "Discovery Channel"/Nat Geo Juniors /Nat Geo Kids and mostly revolved around inventions.
I really wonder what was the show's name?
Thanks in advance
Edit 1 : The show was described in third person by a single person all through the show and the main characters(Gutenberg for e.g) spoke very little and often when and idea struck him
Edit 2 : One more episode that I recall had inventor Benjamin Franklin who used lighting from clouds to devise an earthing mechanism.(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kite_experiment)
Edit 3 : I also checked Liberty Kids (though this is not the one) there is one scene that is similar @9:30-9:50 The kite scene https://youtu.be/eTja_nNhEWI I recall Benjamin Franklin being portrayed as old and there weren't many characters present as shown in liberty kids (February 7th)
The rat (?) would be the main presentor of the history that we see. The rat was CGI, but the rest of the elements are live action. Not a cartoon. The rat had a personal research (?) room which was darkly lit were it would talk about stuff, then it would move on the the desert sight where the dino bones were found...
I am not fully sure it was Nat Geo, but thats how I remember. It was american also.
This was a series, I think at leeasst a dozen documentaries.
I remember they were around between the 2000s to 2010s.
Thanks in advance!
I’m a National Geographic Explorer who has been walking across the world on a 24,000-mile journey from Africa to South America. Throughout this multi-year journey, I’ve written stories about culture, environment, history and science along the ancient pathways of the first humans who discovered the Earth during the Stone Age. You can learn more about my journey here and my latest story for National Geographic Magazine here.

EDIT: Thanks for joining the discussion tonight, everyone. It's been great to chat a bit about walking and writing. Get out and take a stroll whenever you can. I can recommend it as a natural boost for any creative effort. Walk in peace. Maybe see you out on the trail.
Hi! I'm Diego Pol, a paleontologist and National Geographic Explorer who studies dinosaurs and ancient crocs. For the last few years, I've been exploring and discovering dinosaurs in Patagonia, the southern tip of South America. I'm the head of the science department at the Egidio Feruglio paleontology museum in Patagonia, Argentina, and during the last ten years I've focused on the remarkable animal biodiversity of the dinosaur era preserved in Patagonia. My research team has recently discovered fossils of over 20 new species of dinosaurs, crocs, and other vertebrates, revealing new chapters in the history of Patagonia's past ecosystems.
You can read more about me here. And if you’d like to see me talk about dinosaurs, check out this video about dinosaur extinction and this one about the golden age of paleontology. I'll be on at 12pm ET (16 UT), AMA!

Hi! I’m Diva Amon, a marine biologist focused on the little-known habitats and animals of the deep ocean, and how our actions are impacting them, and a National Geographic Explorer. I’m also one of the explorers that took Will Smith to the ends of the Earth in the upcoming National Geographic series, Welcome To Earth, which drops on Disney today! I've participated in research cruises around the world, exploring previously unknown deep-sea habitats from Antarctica to the Mariana Trench and have a deep desire to see conservation measures applied to more of the ocean, including the deep ocean. I'm also a founder and director of SpeSeas, an NGO dedicated to marine science, education, and advocacy in my home country of Trinidad and Tobago. You can read more about me here. I'll be on at 11am PT (19 UTC), AMA!
Thanks so much for your great questions! I had a lot of fun answering them, but I’ve gotta run now. Don’t forget you can catch Nat Geo’s new series, Welcome To Earth, NOW on Disney+!

I know for years I missed watching interesting shows on culture, science, nature, and history. It's not the only things I want to watch, but sometimes I'm just in the mood to learn something new. I'm sure we've all noticed over the years that Discovery has turned into aliens/conspiracy theories, Animal Planet has turned into Tree Houses, and History Channel has turned into alligator hunting, pawning, old bicycles, and conspiracies.
Its goddamn bullshit. Its not the informative documentaries I remember growing up. Gone are the days of Steve Irwin, WWII documentaries, and science, and in are the days of entertainment television with no regard for showing the audience factual and educational programming (I will say Steve Irwin was extremely entertaining, but his primary life goal was always conservation through education).
Well these three channels, Nat Geo, Nat Geo Wild, and Smithsonian may not have a Steve Irwin, but they do the factual and educational ONLY. No nonsense megalodon broadcasts (unless you catch something about ancient oceans), no mermaids (unless you're watching something about the historical cultural interpretations), no dragons, no conspiracies, no bullshit.
Alright, so I remember that when I was like 7 or 8 I would play this game with my older sister on our laptop.
I remember it being on something like Nat Geo Kids, Discovery Channel or something ike that. It was one of those sites TV channels would advertise to okay their games and to learn information. I remember that on the top right or left corner of the screen the like mascot thing was like a figure of a cartoon dog with like a spot on its head and like a green hat or outline.
The actual game had a big selection screen in pink, think like happy wheels selection screen but very small and in pink. You could create you own levels and title them. The actual gameplay was like a red ball that would start off from like a little catapult thing set next to a block that would then start off the ball. You could set down springs, and tracks to make the path the ball would follow. But the main colors off the game were pink,purple, and the red ball.
Besides that I can't remember much, but I really hope one of y'all has an idea of what I'm talking about.
It had a guy and a girl explain science and make some really cool stuff. I remember them making a lava lamp once. One episode had a countdown of the top 10 greatest inventions of all time, with the invention of numbers being number 1. The girl had quite short hair if that helps.
Would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here. Thanks. :)
