The visionaries at Corning Glassworks produced this video to give us a glimpse of how glass will continue to deliver amazing products in the digital information age.

The amazing Museum of Glass is also in Corning.

I look forward to the day that bottled water will be banned everywhere in the world. The same should happen ASAP for plastic straws, stirrers, utensils and so on…

As a reminder of where stuff goes watch this video, too:
