A Variety of Skills

What would happen if Luban met Watt? Luban: "Is your steam engine more clever than my wooden kite?" Watt: "My steam engine makes the world faster. Your wooden kite makes imagination fly." What if Li Bing met Edison? Li Bing: "My water will work for two thousand years." Edison: "My electricity makes the night no longer dark." What if Cai Lun met Tim Berners-Lee? Cai Lun: "I use bark rags to make knowledge cheap." Tim: "I use 0s and 1s to free knowledge." This is not imagination. This is "Hundred Skills Against Skills". An epic that allows 24 Eastern and Western inventors to face each other across time and space in the "Wan Gongfang". An ultimate debate on "what is technology?" "Who is technology for?" And "What is the cost of technology?" There is no standard answer here. There are only Luban's ruler, Watt's steam engine, Li Bing's Dujiangyan, Edison's electric light, Huang Daopo's spinning wheel, Ford's assembly line, Steve Jobs' iPhone... When East meets West, when ingenuity meets craftsmanship, when wood meets steel, when water meets electricity—— We finally see: Technology is not just a tool. Technology is the hand of civilization. Technology makes the impossible possible. Technology ultimately makes people happier, freer, and more human-like. 120 Epic chapters, 24 inventors, 12 core questions, and a conversation spanning a thousand years.
