    Hello there, Are you going to be publishing a follow up piece? My husband and me have squandered some time browsing over your web page and surprisingly enough you touched on some thing we had been discussing only the other week with our accountant. We often notice ourselves quarrelling over the smallest of problems, isn’t it childish? At any rate we wish you greatest wishes from the Usa.

    Thanks for the tips you have shared in Which Energy Future?
    | Hinesight. One more thing I would like to say is that computer system memory needs generally rise along with other developments in the know-how. For instance, as soon as new generations of processor chips are introduced to the market, there is certainly usually an equivalent increase in the shape calls for of both laptop or computer memory and hard drive room. This is because software program operated by these processors will inevitably increase in power to leverage the new technological know-how.

      ah, sounds like we have a systems thinker here :-) . One development has consequences that influence the other parts of the system. One of the things we teach in our “Systems Thinking” course the futures studies program at UH.
