A surprising look at the incredible science, history and mystery behind the gadgets, gizmos and products that drive us nuts – but without which we couldn’t imagine life! Subjects include: Shaving, Packing Materials, and Toilets.
A 30,000 year old habit, shaving has become an aesthetic obsession and a multi-billion dollar industry. Companies are even implementing high-tech research techniques using mini-spy cameras and one-way mirrors to study how razors cut and even the styles people use to shave.
The Toilet
From modest holes in the ground to automated contraptions, the toilet has undergone major transformation since its inception. While the Romans saw the first major public toilets advancement around 315 AD, it was not until London’s “Great Stink” that the Western world saw the development of high capacity sewers to handle the city’s waste. Since then, engineers are constantly inventing new ways to make the toilet more efficient, from building apartment buildings with in-house waste processors to developing compost toilets that turn waste into fertilizer.
Packaging
One of the most versatile items in the world, packaging is used to insulate everything from the most trivial objects to highly hazardous materials. Packaging has also served as a catalyst for globalization; without proper ways to package and ship goods, companies would have difficulty distributing their products around the globe. How is it possible to develop packaging able to protect supplies from the sub-zero temperatures of the Arctic or withstand the impact of an F-16 fighter jet?
