What the world needs now ...

Is a lot more solutions like this 4

This is what the world needs more of: a focus on implementing soft technologies rather than a mania to design ever more complex ones.

Let’s live on the planet as if we intend to stay.

    Americans won't support it.The American way is not to simplify. It it is to complicate. It is what we do best. Look at our health care system. Hell, just look at the PC or laptop you are using and ask yourself a simple question. Do I really need all the software that it came with? For most of us it is a resounding NO. Look at your cell phone, do you really need all that crap that it comes with. For the most part NO is the answer.
    The reason for this is that the more complicated you make something, the more profit centers you create. If the project is backed with public money, then all the better, because Congress will make sure that everyone in every important state or district gets a taste of the subcontracting.
    Simplicity may sell in Africa. But in America, it is un-American and will be stamped out at the first opportunity.

    Hints From Heloise

    Yeah, we can do a lot with thimbles and twine, but the real solutions are coming from high tech companies working in exotic newfangled materials like composites and nanotubes.
