and compare a watch to the eye
-
and noticing that a watch and the eye contain multitudes of parts
-
that interact in complicated ways
-
to do interesting things.
-
In fact,
-
to change and to update the analogy a little bit,
-
an eye is very much like a machine known as a camera.
-
And they're similar at a deep way.
-
They both have lenses that bend light
-
and project an image onto a light-sensitive surface.
-
For the eye the light-sensitive surface is the retina.
-
For the camera it's the film.
