A look at how things work

MANILA, Philippines - How do they get fresh fish to your table in less than 24 hours? How do they communicate with spacecraft millions from earth? How do they cut through metal with a beam of light?

Go behind the scenes to discover how to do the things, and make the things that form the modern world. How Do They Do It? 6 premieres tomorrow night at 9. Encores air Saturdays at 1 p.m. and Mondays, 10 a.m.

Eating, drinking, driving, flying are all the activities that we carry out with barely a second thought. But have you ever wondered exactly how do they produce fresh orange juice all year round? How do they feed 100,000 airplane passengers a day? How do they track and stop a stolen car?

Every day — often without even realizing it, we come into contact with technology, be it in a restaurant, in the car or on the golf course.

How Do They Do It? takes a look at how things work and focuses on some of the most amazing examples of everyday objects.
