Now after being exposed to Bruce Mau & Tim Brown thinking I am looking at my new projects in a much different light. Sometimes engineers can find it difficult not to over analyze situations. In 1994 I was exposed to a technique called "Value Analysis" where were were told among other things to question ourselves and to bring in ideas and not judge them right away. I believe the key to growth is to continue to keep an open mind to new techniques and theories to enrich our day to day projects. All of us one bit at a time can really continue to change the way we live in. The human element is also a very big factor.
