Shipping Containers

Shipping containers are one of the ways in which our world has quietly changed without our noticing. Read the full wikipedia entry on the subject for a better understanding of how thoroughly this has happened.

Now we're dependent on shipping containers, and evidently they're in short supply. It appears the economic slowdown is causing a slowdown in shipping container turnover. NPR has the story.

I wonder how this affects these guys.
