1 month agoMister Rogers Thought Kids Belonged in Factories. He Was Right.
Watching red balls take shape, pretzel dough go into the oven, the Crayola factory come to life, and a cloud of cotton getting brushed into a towel with Fred Rogers' calm, interested voiceover makes for good television, sure, but it does so much more. These segments show the magic of work - that an object is the sum of its parts plus labor, and this process is a sight to behold. Rogers wanted to show kids that our chaotic world is an orderly place with meaning, if we just take time to look below the surface.
