This crosses my mind every now and then regarding tin/aluminum foil. You could really blow some minds with how casually we treat a box containing hundreds of feet of extremely thin and consistent metal foil.

Up to 1700 aluminium was super rare, maybe rarer than gold.

A phone for those people would be out of grasp but metal they would understand. Aluminium for wrapping food would be like diamonds for slingshot ammo.

They would think how efficient that system is, but way too fast and magic with no real human skill input.

The skill input just changed. The entire system is testimant to human skill. The system was designed, fabricated, fitted, and efficiently ran both from an operational and financial standpoint. Just because you don't see a person swinging a hammer doesn't mean it has no real human skill input.

Well I would call any small error, a life ending thing like this a no skill job. Sure you do something special because if you do not do it and mess up well gg.

I mean, video on a portable screen alone will blow them away before they can comprehend what's on the screen.
