Summarize the points made in the lecture you just heard, explaining how they challenge points made in the reading.
Although, both lecture and reading agree that U.S. and European countries were given way too much credit for all the innovation and creativity that shaped the world, lecturer counter attacks all three examples presented by the reading in support of the argument. She asserts that the reading's instances are weak. She even delineates her position by making relevant points.
Firstly, the lecturer puts light on the discovery of camera, which the reading claims to be actually invented by the Iraqi scientist. She adds up to her criticism by saying that even though the Iraqi scientist, al-Haytham, developed the pin hole camera technology way before the European photographer, Louis Daguerre, that pin hole technology never enabled anyone to take the actual photographs or print them. It was only the Loius Daguerre's camera that allowed the mentioned features first in the history.
Furthermore, the airplane example, which was allegedly invented by the Brazilian aviator, Alberto Santos-Dumont, in the reading is also condemned by the lecturer. She delineates the fact that Alberto never invented the airplane, but a hydrogen balloon which was not safe or practical. She, thus, posits that the actual inventors of the airplane were indeed the Wright brothers.
Thirdly, the lecturer once again denies the claim made by the reading that the hand guns were primarily invented by the Chinese. She says that the Chinese hand cannons were too heavy and needed to be carried by two people. On the other hand, European guns were much more sophisticated and served the actual purpose. Hence, it was right to discern the inventors of hand guns as Europeans.
