to the freedom of russia. and featuring a lead role like you've never seen before let me be clear with you i have to act in ways that i feel necessary to people who simply understand that. the premier sentimental journey ends justify the means. continues with mrs stuart's december 13th on t.w. . container ship as big as a mountain that's the reality today in the world sports where i was born in the 19th sixty's these cargo ships were just 100th of that size and back then things

didn't come in small medium and large never mind even extra large sure shoes and other clothing came in different sizes never fairly standardized but we didn't have grand day coffee last days or extra large portions of chips and things like that you name it cars homes cruise ships televisions furniture everything seems to have gotten bigger since i was a child how did that happen and is bigger really always better why is the whole economy geared towards super sizing everything today we look at the business of big welcome to an extra large edition of made it's not just the things that we buy that have gotten bigger it's also the advertising for the whole buildings can now be draped in gigantic posters which of course also have to be produced and now there is a machine that can do just the world's largest a digital printer for soft materials can generate prints up to 600 square meters in

size our reporter went to pottstown near berlin to see how it's done. the world's biggest passenger plane. a massive container ship. a huge bucket excavator. monster dump truck and infinite just to. its maker big image system says it's the world's largest textile printer it can be found at the company's premises in potsdam near berlin it creates seamless prints up to 12 by 50 meters. their use for museum displays advertising banners film sets theatrical backdrops and much more besides.

windings unknowns with a lot of main customers of those who need extra large format it's some by flora chanel fashion show for example vast holes had to be decorated in the hind film production sometimes need up to 200 meters printed and yet is need large backdrops so we specialize in anything that exceeds the standard formats. for shine out big image systems recreated an entire street inside the ground in paris. they made a mock up of the cellar regina and the sistine chapel for the film we have a pope because it couldn't be shot in the real vatican. things are buzzing at the printers they're getting lots of orders a printed square meter can cost $35.00 euros though the price varies with the nature of the order like this $1.00 for an irish opera production the textiles have

to meet certain requirements as in greece there is the view of the fabric has a loose we are at the surface so that's not too dense. that's the kind we use for theatrical backdrops lets you play with light you can make it disappear with bright light in a gentle like to come let you see the outlines of what's behind it you know you can create a lot of great effect with the effect of them but that's human. to accommodate the huge printing machines and the rolls of fabric the company needs spacious premises the plantain parts them started out with one printer now it runs for a day and night and has a staff of 30. these gentlemen on a dark background are destined for the stage. the advanced printing machines and inks are the result of decades of development both within the company and through collaboration with research institutes. by our

fathers in cas to have 3 key attributes brilliance the right drying time and it has to be eco friendly. and of course it has to do what it's meant to do in technical terms we're not sure if that's the person responsible. the inks the company has developed are water based and nontoxic that's very important for customers. the tanks often have to be topped up during printing big image systems is committed to investing in r. and d. as the best way to stay ahead of the competition says c.e.o. ocean a lot of my own. feel life needs copy and i would be very hard to copy exactly what we do you know because so much of it is thanks to our skilled and experienced team from the need that bite the dust so if this is that's the ball that's our competitors have smaller printers and then some of their prints together in a much more money now that's alice the farm and they are our main competition is $1.00

to conquer and smoke when they think yes and that's the. once the huge prints are finished they have to be hemmed and fitted with ayelet so that they can be hung up. here's a recent gorgeous creation a backdrop for handles oratorial both shots are at the zorak opera. making a launch a version of something can make sense in some instances buses or trains that can hold more commuters ops thoughts might it be that it expands and causes more problems than it's worth is it really us the consumers who want to have

a bigger cars rings meals things as well as the limits is less maybe sometimes wall you know a few thoughts on that subject. x x l and execs s. does size matter in the end. everything is getting bigger cars ships planes and coffee machines. the chinese are even breeding giant $500.00 kilo pigs. in 1960 for the 1st container ship was only 126 meters long and could carry just 276 containers the large ship today is 400 meters long and carries almost 20 $4000.00 containers the next generation will be even bigger. entire airports have to be redesigned to enable passengers to board the double decker superjumbo airbus a $380.00. and although electronics are getting smaller and smaller coffee

machines. are getting bigger and more complicated but in the end they still just make coffee but. in the cities more people are driving large s.u.v.s the only problem is that the parking spaces are not growing with the cars. why does everything have to be bigger because it's what customers want and s.u.v.s safer for the passengers the driver says higher s.u.v.s look impressive and they're eco boosters. then there are the delusions of grandeur in architecture the world's tallest building the burj khalifa is 830 meters tall but it will soon be surpassed by one of 1000 meters tall. but why aren't things getting smaller well they are the world's smallest vehicle is

just a few molecules in size it's intended to transport medicine through the bloodstream and the tool they used to build it is the size of a single atom you can also fit the world's smallest computer onto a grain of rice that one pretty big achieved. maybe it is because research indicates that consumer habits do change from one generation to the next that has to do with a lot of different factors the price of oil for example can lead to demand for smaller more efficient cars in today's world climate change has many young people reconsidering their buying behavior we spoke to a trend who says there's a big cultural change coming consumers will actually be sizing down and companies better be ready for it.

our era may have always been aiming bigger and higher and better but sometimes teeny tiny is called for. like here a mini a 12 wonderland in hamburg a huge model railway and airport. cutting a high is a consultant who specializes in trend research says that certainly is it still the case that in 2019 a meaning for growth is still the predominant value of the average but that doesn't have it we need to distinguish between different generations. for older people in germany a big house and a big car a status symbol of lining up and i mean and that's part of the culture. war and we live in a capitalist society and we're conditioned to feel a property and hans's our own value. it's more about what i own the more time i am gonna have a big. choir says for the younger generation events or adventures may be more

important than property but wilder the better. for them holidays are not just for relaxing. better you know they're for younger people experiences or what count the bigger more intense the better i travel to distant places a big fancy words on things they can post on instagram and all the other social media platforms those are the new status symbols for the younger generation. yet they're also more aware of the consequences consumption and lifestyle can have on the environment and the climate ostentatious material purchases are out. many minutes measuring what if i buy a big car for example and post about it on social media i can reckon with my friends criticising me that they won't be writing wow what a fantastic but really did you have to. if not then. many products could actually be a lot smaller than they are that would save resources and reduce their environmental

impact despite the climate crisis this kind of downsizing is not much in evidence except in the context of high tech. technique at the technical level and things are getting smaller microelectronics for example lots of new sensor technology that can be used to enhance efficiency much grief what that means is that refrigerators use much less energy than they used to and they're cheaper to run but then consumers buy bigger refrigerators. this is about the rebound effect. of people invest what they've saved thanks to energy efficiency and other things that council out the desired effect namely using less energy overall. and. this is hamburg's new concert hall philharmonia in miniature. tiny digital devices are proving to be attractive to many consumers eventually already in the

post smartphone era much soon we might just have a tiny device the projects it's display onto our hands things are getting ever smaller the time for them is disappearing disappearing. do young people get things right the older folks like me 50 or over don't. make better use of miniaturize ation do they do what we tend to do the older you get and the more you work on the bigger the things you buy. in the line than the 5 for every trend that changes society there's a counter trend my so we can't simply assert everything is getting bigger or getting smaller i mean we see this in many areas the thing i'm. playing on our phones 247. at the same time it's become ever more important that we. for example yoga and digital detox and that we take a break from all electronic devices in time. and that

means engaging more with the analog physical world whether full scale or miniature the real thing or toy town. but if you're into acquiring big things being rich is probably helpful being the richest the biggest the fast as is usually celebrated in our societies we can compile lists of all those records and usually marvelous humankind's achievements let's have a look at some of the world's record so we start with super sized wealth. there's a lot of money out there and much of it belongs to just a few people 10 percent of the world's population owns 83 percent of all wealth for them my yacht or a fancy car is just basic. to 2 richest men in the world are bill gates co-founder

of microsoft and jeff bezos the founder and c.e.o. of amazon. the richest woman was until recently françoise bevan core myers heir to the l'oreal cosmetics fortune. the rankings have been volatile of light bees olson his wife mackenzie got divorced damned as a result of the largest known settlement in history she soared to 3rd position among wealthy women. then david koch of koch industries died and his widow julia fleischer called top spot among women. koch industries is a multinational that's involved in a wide variety of businesses including the distribution of petroleum chemicals and energy. and speaking of energy according to

a study by the climate accountability institute 20 all oil natural gas and coal companies are responsible for 35 percent of fossil fuel and cement greenhouse gas emissions between 165 and 27 team. saudi aramco tops the table with a share of 4.38 percent. 12 of the 20 companies are state own. finally let's look at the lending social media company. facebook. the biggest. part of a service should also. messenger and instagram with a combined total of well over $6000000.00 accounts.

among the top $105.00 are chinese and they are keen to expand outside their domestic market. even in the. competition is fierce for users and for profit. vast fields open pit mines and massive container ships exemplify a trend to supersizing in many areas of economic activity a key reason is of course the search for profits which in itself as come under increasing scrutiny efforts underway to limit the seemingly endless upscaling because in farming for example growth always means increasing environmental impact to more and more people want to put limits on that they say growth is not always good. germany holding company echo say micromanages 579000 hectares of farmland in russia

that's nearly 8 times the size of new york city and it's buying up more land over time. environmental tests find this trend appalling. agricultural corporations are getting bigger and they're using industrialised farming methods huge areas are planted with monocultures and treated with fertilizers and pesticides this type of cultivation has a devastating effect on species diversity and it pollutes the water and depletes the soil a valuable resource that won't last forever. it's europe's largest milk producer and it grows feet for its $100000.00 cows. some experts say there's no way around large scale agriculture. langridge of liberty's arming operations have to expand because the economy forces them to the

industry has faced endless pricing pressure in recent decades and farmers can only a scape this pressure by producing more getting bigger expanding and even then they only just make ends meet. i mean i was in the truck if you want and. it's estimated that to keep up with population growth we'll need to produce 50 percent more food by 2050 than we do now could that be done without industrial farming. naf very densely populated countries like china but by enormous quantities of agricultural products on the world market. and this is only possible with correspondingly large structures including trading companies shipping logistics. the farming operations themselves since what in one pitch of pick between a few knuckles and a lot of these sprawling fields aren't even used to grow food for humans but for

animal feed 80 percent of the available land is used in the production of meat eggs and dairy products so rain forests like in brazil are being cleared for an order to move away from large scale farming and switch to smaller areas with rotating crops that are primarily used for food production. that's. the world's biggest open pit copper mine is in northern chile it's 4300 meters long 3000 white and more than a 1000 deep it took shape over the course of a century everything at the turkey come out to minus scaled up the stick can lift 100 tons soon to be super size mining underground as well because that's thought to be 2300000000 tons of all down the. fountain comatose further south on the pacific coast there's a one kilometer long pool filled with filtered sea water and heated to $26.00

degree celsius bilton is no alternative to the natural beach just next to it the running costs around 300000 here i say yeah i'm the enormous swimming pool is clearly a hit several other countries also how one. germany's biggest ports humbug is the destination for many large container ships like this one which can carry 20600 containers. even bigger container ships are being built but not everyone sees the need like comeback senator for economics michele vest halcombe out. of home there's a variety of reasons are easy to explain the infrastructure of the ports would have . to be rebuilt to accommodate the huge ships. walls would need to be fortified it would be a huge infrastructural undertaking of 3 out of and then there's the other question

what's the optimal ship size and it load of you know read i think many of today's ship owners have realized that the optimum capacity is actually between 14 and 18000 containers because then the ships consumption isn't so high. these are guns and these are all things you have to consider which is why we'd be delighted to stick with the size we have now yet but these are all. the city is connected to the sea you via the river elbe or over the past 2 centuries the elbow was dredged several times to accommodate larger ships costing billions of euros and sparking protests from environmentalists the senator wants the current deepening operation to be the last. the city is worried that other ports will expand to welcome the new ships. in this case hamburg would lose out. so it's trying to drum up support from other european ports

. we can't make this decision alone so we're trying to take it to a european level the world has to work together on this. there's no end in sight for the supersize me it meant there are too many benefits more convenience more financial gain and more cost effective production which is often what it takes to survive the current global competition. now do you also have a colleague at work who just thinks he is the greatest god's gift to mankind well. peter is such a colleague a man with the egos so big as actually visible from space that is sometimes difficult to bear for us his colleagues and he knows that because all of is also a man with the intellectual capacity to fight his own super sized ego.

being. on the wall who's the fairest stuff them all. so i'm so special so desirable i just love myself even me. it's been the best the best of all. so hands on with me i'm not myself i'm into great if so. that's yes such mandalas photos i'm so photogenic. i have to post them everywhere now of course. if what i assume is social media star saunas social media beauty hope is true and i.

understand everybody has to see this i will post it and freeway at big i don't get it why isn't anyone calling me someone like me should be getting called all the time. do you want an honest answer but if you insist you are on better bleach self centered on narcissist noni and isolated. if you happen to meet a narcissist run away fast they are incapable of love. about a sure but i'm still the 1st of the malls. i'm.

we all start to rethink all obsession with big maybe we should start mining different things the most effective energy source of the most modest matt definitely not all off that's it for today thanks for watching and see you next week.
