Yup, it crosses my mind all the time, and it's been like that since I was a teenager. The awe extends also outside of physical objects, I get it, for example, when reading a good book and realising how much work was put all the way through from the creative process itself, how hard was it to come up with the ideas, develop it, then edit, etc. to all the production, distribution and other processes until it got into my hands. Or when watching films/series and thinking how much work was the whole production, writing it, casting, filming people on set, all the equipment used being made (lenses, cameras, etc.), how many people are involved in the whole chain. Sometimes it's overwhelming, every little thing I interact with depended on the labour of so many (from tap water, electricity, sewage, food, transport to every object anywhere, all the way to virtual products on the internet, my phone, my computer) that it frightens me on how fragile the whole web connecting the production of it all feels like, at the same time it's quite resilient just from the fact it's all human.
