Many see a value in "natural" objects that is absent in those engineered by man. There is a raw energy and story behind it. Would you be just as awe-struck by a magnificent waterfall built by engineers flowing atop beautiful factory-produced rocks as one created by geologic forces over millennia?
- heystefan 2y ago^ What he said. There's something in story/branding/nostalgia too.

Why wouldn't I be? Human creations can be every bit as awe-inspiring as anything found in nature. No waterfall is as impressive as a smartphone, if you know what you're looking at and what it took to make it happen.
