Скачать или смотреть The Most Complex Machines Ever - @UoCambridge

Seminar at UoCambridge Dept of Materials Science and Metallurgy 3mar15 (70min). Today, we are making the most complex machines that the world has ever know; tomorrow they will be even more so. We sell them in large volumes to customers who value their functionality but have no recognition of the technology that enables them; even less, our roles in their creation. Technology products don't grow on trees, they are painstakingly designed and constructed one molecule at a time by man(kind). And the more complex the machines the ever more complex they will have been to design and construct. Alas, out of sight is out of mind; so as our technology becomes less visible to the user, then their support for its evolution will diminish! To correct this we must educate the public; but before we can do that we must understand what we do ourselves ... This talk could just be the start of that process.
