I see that I have managed to not to explain myself in such a way to be
understood:
Your lovely machines (whichever they are) live *only* because there
someone (you or another human person) to make it work and appreciate the
results. They *only* live in your (or somebody else's) mind. And that is
why their history is important because it's not their history that we
appreciate but the sentiments, feelings, joy and sadness of the people
who used them!
Hope this is clearer
