(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So uh yeah.... Somehow I ended up watching a video about how the Amazon warehouse works. This video was actually pretty interesting to me since I've never seen the inside of any warehouse or knew how they operated. The Amazon warehouse is really huge and I can only imagine how many employees they need to have :p Also I just wanted to know if it's only me that finds this stuff interesting :fa:

Interesting.. honestly this stuff amazes me because of the amount of man hours required to keep it going and the details behind someone sending a package from Russia that ends up at your door steps a day or two later in the US or anywhere else.

I luckily got the chance to tour an Ottis Spunkmire plant (They make cookies and bread for SubWay). It is interesting to look at all of the things that go into making all of these items so fast. Another thing is that is this factory the waste is sick they had barrels full of bread that was not up to "standards" and it was fine.

It is difficult to fully comprehend the impact that the computer and laser scanner have had on shipping and distribution methods.
When everything had to be done by hand and written down.

I think that the dependency is good in a way.. I mean we shouldn't become 100% dependent on it, we need to know how to function without it. As long as we have humans to double check the process. When it is all done by hand I have experienced that the production time is slowed and chances for errors increase greatly. Sadly were I work errors can be pretty extreme. To bad I do not have enough pull to properly do anything about it ( I think my idea is pretty spot on).
