The Flip of a Switch

In reading a recent USA Today article, An In-depth Look at Oil: Its Costs and Its Alternatives, I was reminded again, how oblivious our citizens are about most things that happen around them every day…”Plenty of readers live a black-box existence, according to Steve Weinberg. They don’t really understand how skyscrapers stay upright, how a sirloin steak reaches our dinner plate (food magically appears in supermarkets, right?) and how the lights come on at the flip of a wall switch.” And he is right, we all run around day after day, texting, emailing, going to meetings, and taking our children to their overwhelming amount of activities. Let’s face it, who has time to play Leonardo da Vinci, discovering how the human body functions, how to make something fly, or to paint oil on canvas with such intricacy. Let the engineers and architects of the world know how to suspend a bridge or build a skyscraper. Let the people at GE, Philips, and Dallas Light Bulb care about how the light switch works. What do we care about? We want the light to come on when we hit that switch.
