Rhodie, You sound older. I could have said all that, only not as well. Does an "Age" really die. Although it's not worth much thought, The question still made me go back to my DeVore book and read about the start of technology, and the ages... oh the ages.... It's a fun thread, not...

The machine age ended in the early 60s, with the introduction of the space age. The space age is over and we are now in the information age. Machines will always be here, as will space, as will bronze, as will stone.

I'm thinking that the development cycle is beginning to far exceed the capacity filled by licensed engineers. You can not stop advancement, and you can not control innovation. You can not retard the desire of consumer satisfaction. Regulations are but an obstacle.

Disciplined by whom?

And whom will be doing the assesment of the "temperment?"

It looks to me like a humor forum should be called for. What do I know though, I work for two dollars... heh
