The Link科技的族谱 

The finger bone is connected to the hand bone, which are then connected to the shoulder bone by way of the arm bone. Continuing on up the body, the shoulder, back, and neck bones are connected to the head bone. If all these bones weren't linked together in their proper order, the human body would fall apart and fail to work. This is also true for the world in which we live.
There are people that grow up, graduate from high school, and then get married right away. This in turn leads to them having children, buying homes, and preparing for their kids' education. Before long, their children are all grown and starting on their individual paths, while it is too late for them to pursue their own dreams. What if one of the links in their lives didn't happen or happened differently? The outcomes are likely to be different.
The same also happens with the technology we depend on every day. Who could have imagined that swords would lead to spy planes or gunpowder to forensics? The Link on National Geographic Channel traces these connections to reveal how some modern inventions came about, so don't miss it.


手指的骨头与手掌骨相连,而这些骨头再透过手臂的骨头连接到肩夹骨。接著顺势来到躯干部分,肩夹骨、脊骨和颈骨皆与头骨相连。若是这些骨头没有按照正确的顺序相接,那麽整个人体就会七零八落、无法正常运作。我们身处的世界也是如此。
有些人长大到高中毕业後,马上就步入了婚姻。他们因此接著生小孩、买房子,并为孩子的教育做准备。不久後,他们的孩子都长大成人、踏上各自的人生旅程,不过这些做爸妈的想要追求梦想却为时已晚。要是他们生命中的某个环节从未发生,或是有不同的发展呢?结果很可能会截然不同。
相同的情况也发生在我们每天所仰赖的科技上。谁想得到刀剑会导致间谍机的发明,又或者是火药会催生鉴识科学呢?国家地理频道《科技的族谱》将追查这当中的各种关联,进而揭开一些现代发明是如何诞生,因此千万别错过本节目。
