We live in a manufactured world. Unless you are currently floating naked in space, you are right now in direct contact with, or using or consuming manufactured products – from clothing to furniture, phones to food. And yet the process by which these things appear in our lives is virtually invisible. How often do we stop to think: where do all the things we buy and use actually come from? This talk will take you on a journey through the world of manufacturing and its transformational influence on our lives – and the world around us.
