Industrial fruit
The secret life of machines
is a series of shows, which explain how things used to work in what seem the seventies but are actually the late eighties. Of course now we fly our hovercars and use the internet. But stroll through an antiqueshop, and you will find some of the appliances explained here, like the video recorder, fax machine and telephone, and even some your grandparents used to gain status in their neighbourhood like the vacuum cleaner, and the refrigerator. Its an old show is what i'm saying. But nonetheless both entertaining and informative. Like all good things in life.
Here are some
more episodes
.
And if you dont like sitting through those stupid videos here is the
cartoonversion
of the same thing.
And if you are now really turned on about wanting to know how stuff works, there's
How Stuff Works
.
