The blessing of the washing machine

I have experienced the miracle of starting

a washing machine and sitting in the front,

watching the clothes as if it was a TV programm.

What a blessing to have a washing machine!

Looking through the TED talks I saw that Hans Rosling

had given a lecture about the importance of the

washing machine. Here it is
