"It takes an entire civilization to build a toaster. Designer Thomas Thwaites found out the hard way, by attempting to build one from scratch: mining ore for steel, deriving plastic from oil ... it’s frankly amazing he got as far as he got. A parable of our interconnected society, for designers and consumers alike."Video from: TED.com
