Model T

We're watching a documentary on Henry Ford - I didn't know his son was named Edsel. Interesting to see the evolution of the motor vehicle, and how people's perception of it has changed.

Henry Ford's creation of their assembly line forever changed the way the people worked. He was much more of a technical thinker than emotional. In order to reduce employee turnover, he paid his employees well and he created a profit sharing plan. Truly a visionary. I bet he would have loved the computer age!

 

We've come a long way!
