Two videos found on the same day on the same topic. Namely, the use of technology - specifically, machinery - to create objects. The first is a 60 Minutes segment featuring Andrew McAfee and Erik Bynjolfsson called "March of the Machines." It aired last week.
The second is an archival documentary from Encyclopedia Britannica illustrating how a manuscript becomes a book. I found it on The Atlantic's site under the headline "Technology Porn for Book Lovers: A 1940s Guide to Printing."
The same subject (roughly), looked at twice in a 70-year interval. What are we to make of these? I can think of a few things.
UPDATE
To wit: from cnet today: "The Noodlebot takes on China's noodle chefs"
