When I was a wee lad sitting in school, I never had any time to pay attention to my teachings. I was too fascinated by the globe by my desk. I had feverishly wondered how they made the globe reflect the terrain accurately and I now know Google Earth had nothing to do with it.
The video above is straight out of “How It’s Made” and has solved my childhood bewilderment of the making of a globe. Now I can obsess over other things like sperm powered nanobots.
