Some started out with a different name and had a slow start but many of them have kept producing and gaining new subscribers.

Most Popular Social Media Platforms 1997 - 2023 Captain Gizmo 2023-05-22 | This is an update to the original video published in 2020. I've included more data for Chinese social media platforms and included some that I left out such as YouTube and Telegram, since they're no longer just basic apps for video and messaging. In this data visualization video I look at the most popular social media networks based on active accounts during that time.These stats come from Wikipedia, Statista, archive.org and from Google Books searches. I did not include those platforms that did not report stats. Some of the data includes approximate numbers as the data available skipped years. In the video I included screenshots of certain platforms from the list as they looked during that particular year.

Richest People in the World 1986-2023 Captain Gizmo 2023-02-28 | This data visualization video shows the wealthiest billionaires from 1986 to 2023. I include their primary investment on the left and secondary investments or notes to the right of that. The data comes from Forbes' yearly billionaire list. This is updated often, so the last numbers have already changed since they're from last week. The race was originally too chaotic, with bars crisscrossing each other non-stop, so I had to smooth out the numbers.
Best Selling Video Games 1979 - 2023 Captain Gizmo 2023-02-08 | In this update I added the latest 3 years of data and updated some numbers that were published by more credible sources. I also split up the Tetris numbers because all the game versions were quite different, there's no such thing as a classic version to combine. This data visualization video shows the best selling video games since 1979. It includes all their ports for newer systems such as for Super Mario Bros for the Wii, Wii U, etc. It does not include Free-to-Play video games, I will include those in a different video.For top selling I selected those with 1 million in sales units for the first few years, then those with 5 million in sales for the next few years, then 10 million, etc. This was to avoid crowding the chart and to avoid adding games that don't even peek out for a single year. These stats come from Wikipedia, articles and from Google Books searches. Some of the data includes approximate numbers as the data available skipped years. In the video I included quick clips of how the games looked.

Most Popular Computer Brands 1996 - 2023 (updated) Captain Gizmo 2023-01-24 | Do you remember your first computer? This video shows the performance of the top computer brands in terms of market share. Apple dropped by a lot in the late 90s, hence why they brought back Steve Jobs. I did not include them with the "others" because they have been very influential to the computer industry. Those that dropped to 0% were either acquired or left the computer market. Computer brands that sold less than 3% are part of the "others" group, those included brands like Sony Vaio, Microsoft Surface, Packard Bell and hundred others. In the 90s computer sales were based on price and performance instead of style since they were seen as a business tool. I included popular computers from each year so you can see the progression of computer designs and so you can have an idea of what was selling at that time. I did not include many laptop images because it's difficult to see their progression other than thinner bodies.You can find the Samsung Galaxy Book Pro here:amzn.to/3wtU2x7

Most Cell Phone Connections 1990 - 2023 Captain Gizmo 2022-12-20 | For this data visualization I used the original data showing the total number of connections instead of calculating per capita. I point out the start of the different connection rollout throughout this period. I chose to start in 1990 because that's when prices of phones were becoming more accessible to the masses and when services were becoming widely available.
Most Cell Phone Connections Per Capita 1990 - 2023 Captain Gizmo 2022-12-13 | In this data visualization I look at the top countries with the most cell phone connections, one of the most important service in any country. Early cellular networks were developed in the 1950s and 1960s, but it wasn't until the 1980s and 1990s that cellular technology became widely available. Since then, the use of cell phones has exploded, with billions of people around the world now using them for communication and access to the internet. We'll start in 1990 because that's when prices of phones and service were becoming more accessible to the masses and when services were becoming widely available. I also look at the connections per 100,000 individuals in that country to get a more even comparison.Did you see your country on here? If not, were do you think it stands in comparison to these? Do you remember when you first got connected?

Some of the individuals are somewhat controversial, as their wealth comes from the state, corruption or wage theft. I also included a line graph to show the performance over time. Lines stop when there's no more data on the particular individual. Comparison: RICHEST Countries in the World 2022#Comparison #Richest #Billionaires
Top Solar Energy Producing Countries, Per Person, 1990 - 2022 Captain Gizmo 2022-06-06 | Top Solar Energy Producing Countries, Per Person, 1990 - 2022In this video I look at countries trying to move off fossil fuels by producing more solar energy. I used per capita (per person) because it shows us who is putting more of their resources into the transition to solar energy.Solar energy has been used by humans since the beginning of time. The first use of solar energy was for cooking and heating. Here are some important dates in the history of solar energy production:1883 - First solar cells made from selenium at 1% efficiency1954 - First solar cells made from silicon at 6% efficiency, at $300/watt1960 - Hoffman Electronics achieve 14% efficiency by 19601964 - Nimbus launched with solar panels able to power entire spacecraft.1973 - University of Delaware builds first building powered by solar roof tiles similar to Tesla solar tech1979 - President Jimmy Carter had solar panels installed on the White House at $70/watt1985 - University of South Wales achieves 20% generation efficiency1999 - National Renewable Energy Laboratory achieves 33.3% efficiency2016 - University of South Wales achieves 34.5% generation efficiencyThank you for watching!

Most Expensive Big Mac Since 1986 Captain Gizmo 2022-03-16 | In this data visualization I look at the countries with the most expensive Big Macs. This data comes from the Big Mac Index, recorded multiple times a year since 1986.The Big Mac Index was created by The Economist in 1986 as a way to measure the purchasing power parity (PPP) between different currencies. The index is based on the theory of PPP, which states that in a free market, the exchange rate between two currencies should equal the ratio of the prices of a basket of goods in each country. The Big Mac Index uses the price of a Big Mac as its basket of goods, and compares the price of a Big Mac in different countries to see if their currencies are under- or over-valued.The Big Mac Index has been criticized for its simplistic approach, and for not taking into account other factors such as inflation. However, it remains a popular way to measure PPP, and has been used by the IMF, World Bank, and other organizations.economist.com/big-mac-indexThank you for watching!

Countries With Most Nuclear Weapons 1945 - 2022 Captain Gizmo 2022-03-09 | Because of the current situation I decided to create a data visualization video on the state of nuclear weapons throughout the world. I not only show the numbers of nuclear weapons but also some of the devices and their destructive power. Some of these tests and devices include:1945: It all started with the Trinity nuclear test in Alamogordo, New Mexico1949: The Soviet Union conducts its first nuclear test, RDS-11952: The United States detonates the first hydrogen bomb, "Ivy Mike"1953: The Soviet Union detonates their first hydrogen bomb, RDS-61954: Castle Bravo was a 15 megaton nuclear test by the US at Bikini Atoll1961: Soviets detonate a 50 megaton bomb, Tsar Bomba1962: The US conducts a nuclear weapons test in space, Starfish Prime1970: French military detonates hydrogen bomb in LicorneAfter the pandemic I expected the world to come together and work on all sorts of solutions to improve this planet, yet here we are on the brink of WW3.
Most Popular Desktop Browsers 1993 - 2022 Captain Gizmo 2022-02-09 | In this data visualization I only include desktop web browsers, so no mobile web browsers. So the numbers will be different after 2008, when smartphones took off. Like the previous visualization this one goes back to the first graphical web browser, Mosaic. Before Mosaic most users browsed the web either with a text based web browser such as Lynx or using Nexus which had a graphical interface, which was easier to use. 1993MosaicFirst graphical web browser, Mosaic brought the web to life with inline images and links.1994Netscape NavigatorLaunched at $49 with a 90 day trial1995OperaLaunched to the public as trialwareInternet ExplorerThat same year IE launched as free add-on to Windows 951996Marc Andreessen co-founded both, Mosaic and Netscape1997Netscape held 70% of the market but IE being free and part of Windows was gaining fast.

Most Popular Music Formats 1972 - 2022 Captain Gizmo 2022-01-10 | In this bar race I take a look at the most popular music formats by revenue share from 1972 to 2022. This data comes from the RIAA, so it only includes legally sold music and legal streaming. The popular formats from 1972 until today include:Vinyl - This format has been around since the 1800s and is still pretty popular today thanks to hipsters and DJs.8-Track - The 8-track format was originally developed for looping messages on Learjet planes. It featured great audio quality and 4 looping stereo audio tracks but its delicate system and larger size allowed cassette tapes to take the lead.Cassette Tape - The cassette tape was developed before the 8-Track but did not take the lead until the sound quality became on-par with 8-Track. CD - CD's portability and audio quality dominated the format wars, but not it's price and the price of the new gear. As prices dropped it became the dominant format until MP3s and streaming became popular.Digital Download - Although Napster was the first to start selling MP3s, they quickly flopped while the iTunes Store became the main legal provider of digital downloads.Streaming Services - In 2002 Rhapsody started the first subscription based music streaming service. In 2011 it acquired Napster and used it as its brand name in 2016.
USA Vs China: Tech Companies 2000 - 2021 Captain Gizmo 2021-10-19 | Over the past decade China has seen incredible growth in all it's sectors but mainly in its tech sector. Tech has helped China achieve in one decade what took the US over 5 decades. In this chart we'll look at the revenues generated by the largest tech companies from both countries. As China surpasses the US in tech this trend will continue until China generates more revenue in tech than the US, probably within 10 years.
Top 15 Countries Addicted to Gaming 1995 - 2021 Captain Gizmo 2021-10-11 | In this bar race we'll take a look at gaming imports per 1000 people, which lets you compare the interest in gaming between countries. These imports includes console and computer games, arcade machines and all sorts of gaming consoles.Note that some of the major gaming countries, such as China and Japan don't appear on this list since they mostly buy local games and consoles. I attribute the dip in imports around 2008 to the proliferation of the modern smartphone which seems to have had a huge impact on console and video game sales throughout the world.
Top Console & Video Game Importers 1995 - 2021 Captain Gizmo 2021-10-04 | In this bar race we'll take a look at the top importing countries of consoles and video games from 1995 to today. This includes console and computer games and all sorts of gaming consoles. You will probably notice that the proliferation of the smartphone around 2010 had a huge impact on console and video game imports in countries outside the US. Allowances were now being saved for smartphones instead of consoles and video games. In the next video I will post this information per capita, which will show which countries are most addicted to video games.
Top TikTok Accounts 2016 - 2021 Captain Gizmo 2021-09-07 | In this bar race we'll take a look at the TikTok accounts with most followers from its beginning in 2016 until today. By now it seems TikTok is not another Vine and is definitely here to stay. Many of these individuals have become overnight celebrities thanks to TikTok. This data comes from the TikTok website and The Internet Archive.Do you have any favorites that you would recommend?
Countries With Most Home Computers (2005-2021) Captain Gizmo 2021-08-13 | When did you get you first computer? In this video I look at the countries with the highest penetration of home computers. In other words, the percentage of each country's population with a home computer. What surprised me the most was that the superpowers didn't even make it to the top 20. I projected the value for this year, since that data has not been collected. The rest of the data comes from Statista. I failed to find a new song similar to the one I've been using for the past 2 years, Epic Motivation. So I tried creating a new song in a similar style, this is the first draft called Epic Inspiration.

It does not take into account page views nor unique visitors. Some of the data includes approximate numbers as the data available skipped years. The data comes from Wikipedia, Google Books, Alexa PR, and a few search engine trackers.

Evolution of Television 1920-2020 (updated) Captain Gizmo 2021-06-27 | The Evolution of Television 1920-2020 #television #history #techIn 100 years, the TV has taken many shapes and sizes. Here's the history of the television, from the 1920s to today.1920sThe 1920s gave us the mechanical television. The first model had a small display on the right, and a huge cabinet. These first TVs were very simple, in comparison to our technology today.They implemented peculiar shapes. Such as the octagon television.Although the technology was impressive, the video quality was not. Facial features were not recognizable unless makeup was worn in a specific way.1930sIn the 1930s we saw more refined televisions. With better designs and resolution.This decade saw a giant leap in video quality. From 100 scan lines at the start of the decade to 405.1940sThe 1940s brought us even higher resolutions. Including, the NTSC standard, of 480 lines of resolution and better audio.In the 1940s it was difficult to produce CRT screens larger than 12 inches. So big screen TVs implemented projection techniques.1950sThe 1950s brought us the short-lived porthole televisions. But most importantly, it brought us the NTSC color standard. But, not many color televisions were sold until the following decade.1960sThe sales of color TVs boomed in the 60s. They were now more affordable and the colors were more vivid. The high-end TV sets also included a new invention. The remote control.1970sThe 1970s brought TV designs for every taste and need. There was the upgradeable television with easily accessible circuit boards. The futuristic televisions. Which implemented curvy design patterns. The colorful TVs that looked more like toys. And the portable combos. Which normally included radios and cassette decks.1980sThe 1980s was the end of the TV as furniture era. These were replaced with color projection TVs with larger screens and minimalist cabinets. The Space Command was one of those color projection TVs.The 1980s gave way to the first LCD TVs. They were tiny and pixelated, but it was a huge step forward. Portable CRT TVs were a lot more affordable and included additional functions.1990sThis decade was all about Sony's Trinitron technology. As Sony's patent had run out, all competitors were free to use the technology.TV/VCR combos became really popular in the 1990s. They included FM radio and VCR.In the 1990s, Casio continued to improve their portable LCD TVs.A preview of one of the biggest tech of the following decade was introduced at the end of the 1990s. The flat HDTV. Priced around $7,000.2000sThroughout the 2000s CRT TVs were still very popular. As they were inexpensive and could access HD channels using a converter box.During this decade, LCD tech was finally able to compete with Plasma. Giving us LCD HDTVs. Then LED TVs arrived. Which were superior to both.A few brands experimented with ambience lighting. To make the TVs more immersive.Through the decade, HDTVs became pretty smart. They were able to display content from your computer. As well as connect to different services on the internet.2010sWe started the 2010s with the best combination of tech money can buy. 4K, LED, And 3D. Which all had just been introduced.Curved screens became the premium feature for a few years. It was meant to reduce glare and improve immersion. By taking advantage of our peripheral vision. This works well for computer monitors. But it is barely noticeable on TVs.Something truly impressive was the introduction of wallpaper TVs. These are almost as thin as a credit card.The latest feature is ambient mode. Which lets you match your TV to your decor. It allows you to display your TV as art, or to match your wallpaper.2020s2020 promises many new technologies. Such as the rollable TV. It is completely hidden when it's off and when it's on, it grows to the size of the content or application. This is great for calendar and music apps. And avoids the black bars in extra-wide movies.The transparent glass TV is another discreet TV technology. But it will likely be used more for decoration and art, than for entertainment.While the double sided TV will be great for gaming and for commercial applications.Tech is changing really fast, and so are our TVs. What do you think is next, for the evolution of television?

Most Valuable Tech Companies 2005 - 2020 Captain Gizmo 2020-09-01 | Which is your favorite tech company? This video displays the the most valuable public tech companies in a race to become the top valued company. I kept the visualization as simple as possible because it is a fun race that keeps changing a lot and doesn't need much more. I hope you enjoy the video.
Most Popular Computer Brands 1996 - 2020 (by market share) Captain Gizmo 2020-08-25 | Do you remember the first computer? This video shows the performance of the top computer brands in terms of market share. Apple dropped by a lot in the late 90s, hence why they brought back Steve Jobs. I did not include them with the "others" because they have been very influential to the computer industry. Those that dropped to 0% were either acquired or left the computer market. Computer brands that sold less than 3% are part of the "others" group, those included brands like Sony Vaio, Packard Bell and hundred others. In the 90s computer sales were based on price and performance instead of style since they were seen as a business tool. I included popular computers from each year so you can see the progression of computer designs and so you can have an idea of what was selling at that time. I did not include many laptop images because it's difficult to see their progression other than thinner bodies.
Best Selling Xbox Consoles 2001 - 2020 Captain Gizmo 2020-08-18 | This visualization shows the sales performance of each Xbox console starting from the original Xbox in 2001 up to August 2020. I sped up the first few years as not to bore you. Although the Xbox has normally been the most powerful console it was way too late to the party. This allowed Sony to capture most of the market looking for a console with advanced graphics. Gamers are extremely loyal to their consoles so it's tough to steal them from Sony and Nintendo.

Best Selling PlayStation Consoles 1995 - 2020 Captain Gizmo 2020-08-10 | This visualization shows the sales performance of each PlayStation console starting from the original PlayStation up to August 2020. I sped up the first few years up as not to bore you. Although PSP performed really well and PS Vita was an excellent update it competed directly with smartphones which were becoming faster and more capable every year. The target market for the PS Vita could only afford either a smartphone or handheld console, so the smartphone won every time. PlayStation 2 was a massive hit and set their turf before the launch of Xbox. MUSICThe songs are Epic Motivation by Roman Cano and Above The Ocean by Infraction, available from melodyloops.com
Best Selling Nintendo Consoles 1988 - 2020 Captain Gizmo 2020-08-04 | This visualization shows the performance of each Nintendo console starting from the Nintendo Entertainment System and Family Computer up to July 2020. Although the video starts in 1988 I included all the NES and Famicom units sold since 1985. I split Game Boy and Game Boy Color numbers because the cartridges were not compatible. As you can see, the Nintendo DS was a massive hit, selling tons of units within a few years. The Switch also seems to be performing similar to the DS, mainly because it's a portable and a home console.MUSICThe songs are Epic Motivation by Roman Cano and Above The Ocean by Infraction, available from melodyloops.com
Most Played Arcade Games 1978 - 2020 (by Earnings) Captain Gizmo 2020-07-22 | Do you remember the first arcade game you played? In this video we can see the visualization of the highest earning arcade games of all time since 1978. In other words, these are the most played arcade games from the beginning of arcade gaming until the beginning of 2020. The earnings have been adjusted for inflation in order to fairly compare the games. Very few of the newer arcade games made it to the list because most gamers now have home consoles, gaming computers and games on their phones. Arcade gaming is now more of a casual activity than a hobby.MUSICThe songs are Epic Motivation by Roman Cano and Above The Ocean by Infraction, available from melodyloops.com

Battle of the Email Providers (2000 - 2020) Captain Gizmo 2020-07-08 | These are the most popular webmail providers from 2000 to now. Some of these webmail providers were around in the 90s but under different names, such as Rocketmail, which was purchased and rebranded by Yahoo in 1997.Others may be unknown in your market, such as QQ and Netease which are popular in China. When Google unveiled Gmail it forced many of the large webmail providers to innovate, such as Yahoo and Hotmail. Microsoft provided Hotmail and Outlook as separate services but eventually Hotmail users were moved over to Outlook service. The latest numbers come from Wikipedia.
