From undersea cables and vertical farming to the humble zipper and ballpoint pen, we want to know about a technology that shaped the world we live in but doesn't get its due credit. We all know that the wheel, the steam engine, and the internet changed the world, but for this bounty we want you to do a deep dive on a lesser-known or lesser-appreciated invention.
This bounty is for video essays only, and we're looking for minimum lengths of three minutes.
Task: Create a video essay about an underappreciated but important piece of technology
Format: Video
How to submit a video entry:
Create your video and post it to your connected TikTok, YouTube or Instagram account.
In your post description, please tag us! We're @JustAbout__ on YouTube, @justaboutcommunity on Instagram, and @justaboutcommunity on TikTok. We'd also love it if you included #JustAbout.
Hit the 'submit to this bounty' button just below this description - do not use the reply button unless you just want to comment on the thread, as replies will not be counted as entries!
Share a link to your post in the box that appears, then expand it so we can view the video on Just About.
Once the deadline closes, we’ll pick four submissions, award $15 to each of the winners, and may share them as curated content.
