I read an interesting article about the machines that were built after WWII that helped to build the world that we pretty much know it today. It took some pretty impressive machines to build all the impressive stuff around us. It's an aspect of modern life that is often looked over. You should read the article to get a better sense of just what it took to put these machines together, and what is still being done to keep them running today. Here is the article: http://boingboing.net/2012/02/13/machines.html and another one here: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2012/03/iron-giant/8886/
