The ingenuity and inventions of man is simply breathtaking. We have been able to manufacture things both large and small, simple and complex and even at the microscopic stage. That is the subject of this subject – small but impressive feats of equipment. I really marvel when I see these things. Do you? Would you like to share your examples of small and impressive everyday equipment? Let me begin the conversation. I have one I do find impressive. The analog watch is really small. The gears and hands are very small but it keeps the time. I have known some watches that are as accurate as digital watches. I have always admired them. I think the manufacturers are great engineers.

Clockwork watches are very intricate pieces of machinery. Do you still have yours?

Yes, humans are very intelligent and clever. We rank in the animal kingdom for that.

Well, I think modern technologies are at a fast pace now. We need to cope up.

And equipment are becoming smaller now. That fascinates me.

@mydanods We can't control the innovative ideas. I prefer to have the smaller ones and it can be handy.

I prefer the old fashioned clocks and watches to the new digital ones.

That is a great additional comment - if they are used properly. Man has been known to use every good intention harmfully.

Yes, incorporating the technology in small things calls for appreciation of the efforts of engineers.
