Field Trip Report

During our trip to the UFT (United Federation of Teachers), I found many interesting printing machine that had unique job which indicates how much technology has developed throughout the year. One machine I found interesting was the one which could creates seal labels for every envelop in such a short time such as 5 minutes for over 500 envelopes if not more. It made me see how much time has gone by because back then, in industry companies, you had over hundreds of people sitting down in rows doing such work by hand which would take up more time. Now it can be done with only one machine in such a short amount of time yet in big quantity. Another machine I found interesting was the print T-shirt where it printed designs online straight to a t-shirt in high quality. It was amazing to see because it took less than 5 minutes to have the shirt design printed in the center of the shirt along with having it compressed in another machine. It got my interest because anyone can create design using the proper program and print them on plain white or black t-shirt. Overall, the trip was fantastic because it’s amazing what one machine used for a certain task can do while back then it was harder that took time to develop. With technology this advance, I do wonder what machinery will come in the future for task such as these.
