Bangkok--17 Aug--Bangkok Public Relations
Disk drives, microwave ovens, and televisions — we often take for granted the intricate workings, mechanisms, and technology of these and other everyday objects that make up the modern world. The toaster may seem like a simple device, but do you really know what’s going on in that little box? The toilet is something many people take for granted but find out what goes into the flush to make it such an unexpected marvel of physics. This August, on DECONSTRUCTED, Discovery Channel reveals the inner workings of commonplace objects by cutting them in half, tearing them apart, and breaking them down piece by piece. DECONSTRUCTED premieres on Discovery Channel every Wednesday at 1800 hrs starting August 17 on TrueVisions 20.
As the modern world becomes increasingly sophisticated and mechanized, we grow further removed from understanding the way in which things are made and how things are done. Do you know how a laser printer gets the job done without ever touching the page? Or how your computer’s hard disk is an incredible shrinking machine that reduces all your photos, movies and music into nothing but numbers?
From shedding light on bulbs and detailing the science behind the humble toaster to how a laser mouse works and the technology of the robotic floor cleaner, DECONSTRUCTED will break everything down to the bare basics to uncover the hidden components and reveal how they work.
