The interpretation I received from this video is that after years of people believing in Gods and how they controlled their lives and environment, there began to be those who begged to differ or question its validity, one of them being Anaxagoras, a Greek philosopher. Subsequently there was a chain reaction of others that began questioning these beliefs as well as seeking answers to the unanswered and solutions to the unresolved. They began questioning everything in their surroundings. How do things work? What makes them work the way they do? What is their purpose?
It is due to all the questioning, discoveries, and "thinking outside of the box", if you will, that the development of more advanced techniques and tools were produced. As described in the video, instead of building temples for the Gods, having rituals, and singing hymns to the sun, they now had facts and figures, gadgets, charts, and numbers that gave them the results they sought. At the end of the video, it sounds like the narrator was trying to say that people these days are bound together by technology and material things instead of love. This point, I agree with. Much has been lost due to technology, but simultaneously, a lot that has been gained.
