Great post and a very good convention of great minds thinking a like and sharing the wealth of their immense mental skills in the world dominated by technological embellishments that make life significantly better and more efficient. I think on our most basic level we are creative beings and as we grow older we tend to get pulled or pushed away from that. Well we need to develop more and more WIKIs like this, nice information.
