Glass in the future world!
Commercial video by Corning, U.S.-based manufacturer of glass, on the role of various grades of glass in modern life. Video is seen by more than 2 million visitors on Youtube in two weeks. But there are many insightful comments such as "Finally, I can get a job in this future economy: by washing the glass :-)" or "We will live in such a super-home while each day more and more children die of hunger. .. we could think that they are only tools instead of an end in itself ...Maybe you can have fun tonight and watch the Libya civil war LIVE on your new HD TV" or "Nothing like talking to glass first thing in the morning! Who needs humans anyway?"
The glass industry has seen declining sales over the past decades, losing ground mostly to polymer and plastics , in some of the same applications shown in the video.
