I went to University of Phoenix for my undergrad degree. Once I graduated, they gave me life time access to their library, which includes most scientific articles. I think all Universities should extend this privilege to all who receive degrees.

This is s thought provoking paper featuring a theoretical model that pre-sages a breakage in industrialization. Like all such models, this should be looked at as theoretical. Theory is simply a good educated guess until tested. This theory will take a while to test empirically, because the period is so long. After all, we are still unsure of the Kondratieff long wave economic theory that is only 55 to 60 years long because the theory's period is longer than a generation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave). The article hits all the political hot buttons of our age: environmental sustainability, income in/equality, and population. Is this model really a theory, or a sales job for a particular political agenda?

Relatives of mine who are really smart software engineers do not have Facebook accounts and little to no web presence. They are over 50, so some of this may be generational, but for years, I wondered what they knew that they couldn't tell me. Now, I know.

I'm glad they're doing this. For a long while I wondered how to change over, now they did it already. Great News> PS My PC fits in the bathroom.....
