Document Summary

Containers has done more and have brought fundamental change. Materially are no longer unloaded and loaded by hand, but instead there is a common interface (a container adopted for use) has replaced the labor intensive process of shipping items. The old model so much time and sky high labor cost. Global trade would be minimal without containerization. Since the time it has been adopted, the world has transformed. Literal flattening of the world, in order to ensure flow of containers across the world. Structures and coats everything that follows in the realm of its process, in order to increase productivity by eliminating obstacles that could impede this flow. Creates a (cid:862)grid(cid:863) = a fra(cid:373)e i(cid:374) (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h the e(cid:374)tire earth is (cid:271)e(cid:374)t. Anything that which cannot fit into the box, is excluded; a system that transforms space and subjecting even literal mountains. Physical nodes in a planetary system that subordinates everything.
