The Engineer and the Red Rubber Ball

Can we get along without electronics? Would the world be a better place without technology? I don't want to find out. I love my technology and gadgets. Electronics make our world function better. Can you live without electronics? What are your thoughts?

So, I recently had a visitor to LAE asking the following:

I have a 100 year old fan with a labeled frequency of 133Hz. Will the fan rotate slower or faster if I plug it in to a 60Hz outlet?

Would anyone care to answer this question?

A mathematician, a physicist, and an engineer were all given a red rubber ball and told to find the volume.

The mathematician carefully measured the diameter and evaluated a triple integral.

The physicist filled a beaker with water, put the ball in the water, and measured the total displacement.

The engineer looked up the model and serial numbers in his red-rubber-ball table.
