At any given moment there are about 18,000,000 elevators operating around the world. They’re the backbone of the modern city and have quite literally shaped the world in which we live. But have you ever given any thought to just how much time they’re actually saving you? Or maybe even costing you?

Over a lifetime, many of us spend hours, days, weeks, and even months in their covered, climate-controlled, everything-under-one roofs. Shopping malls didn’t only change the way we shop, they changed the way we think about shopping. And for better or worse, they changed the way we spend time.
Episode 4 - The Plastic Container

The invention of the sealable plastic container in 1946 changed the way we shop for food, the way we cook, and the way we eat. They allow us to eat on the move, prep in advance, and reduce food waste. But somewhere along the way, did they also contribute to an expectation of hyper-productivity?

Discovered by accident in 1946, the microwave oven revolutionized kitchens and today is one of the most ubiquitous household appliances in the world. But the technology behind it is about so much more than popping popcorn.
Episode 6 - The Disposable Cup

Episode 7 - The Bar Code
S1 Ep7

The barcode shortened check-out times, advanced the global supply chain, accelerated next-day delivery, and made same-day delivery possible. They’re scanned some 6 billion times a day around the world and counting.

15th Oct 2021
It’s responsible for nightly fights around the world; to pre-rinse or not? Whose turn to load? Knives up or down? But the dishwasher also saves you about 230 hours a year, is kinder on your wallet and on the environment.
