Good story. How many words .. how many creative ideas are hidden within the lead of a pencil? If the pencil doesn't move .. we will never know. It takes approximately 80–100 different people’s jobs to make a standard pencil, reflecting the diverse roles from raw material extraction to retail. This range accounts for modern manufacturing efficiencies and global supply chains, with potential increases for specialized products.
Thank you. That's an eye-opening example. It can be fascinating (and dizzying) to pause and reflect on what work and energies lie behind these things we take for granted.
