The History of Wire


Listen Later

The modern world runs on metal wires. 


These thin metal strands literally circle the globe and are responsible for much of the world’s electrical power and communications. 


It is something so basic that most people never bother to stop and think about how wires are made. 


It turns out wire has been made for thousands of years, although its uses have changed dramatically. 


Learn more about wire, how it's made, and its many uses on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
