Plastic Arts

摘要

The last century has variously been described as the Auto Age, the Electric Age, the Atomic Age, and the Computer Age. Each of these new technologies has dramatically changed the world and the way we live. For the same reason, we could also call it the Age of Synthetic Plastics, to reflect the materials from which ever-increasing numbers of durable and disposable products are made. The American Chemistry Council reports that the United States now produces over 100 billion pounds of plastics each year.
