    This to me was mind-blowing.
    240-year-old doll - you have never seen anything like this. Watch the doll's eyes as he writes w/pen on the paper. A 240-year-old
    doll that can write, a clockwork creation by Pierre Jaquet-Droz.
    Yes, it is 240 years old.
    This video will fascinate just about all the engineers, artists, clock makers, doll makers, computer programmers, want-to-be inventors or basically
    anyone out there that likes to tinker. This is more than tinkering. When you view this, think computers. Enjoy. It is truly amazing.
    Remember, this was built in the 1770's.
