Teenagers meet pioneers whose inventions shaped our digital world. In the first episode of a two-part special, we hear from Tony Fadell, one of the creators of the iPod; Professor John Goodenough, whose lithium-ion battery kick-started the digital revolution; Professor Bradford Parkinson, the leader of the team that developed GPS; computer programmer Radia Perlman, often referred to as the "mother of the internet"; Keller Rinaudo, whose company has built what it claims is the world's fastest delivery drone; and Dr Caroline Hargrove, an engineer who developed the first Formula One simulator. How did they develop their brilliant ideas, and what lessons do they have for the aspiring engineers, designers and innovators of the future?
