At the Alliance for Innovative Manufacturing at the Stanford University Web site (whew!), you can watch things being built. All kinds of things--like cars, candies and clothes. The choice is yours.
You can take the virtual tour and watched a Boeing 777 being built from scratch. It took seven minutes--on film, anyways. Included was a neat clip of some Rosie the Riveters during wartime.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy How Everyday Things Are Made. Anyone will like watching raw stuff become finished stuff through manufacturing.
