Pulling Rank: The Power of the Engineering Mind Through Capitalism Listed from Planes in the Sky to Smartphones in Hand
Think about cars being bought. Do most consumers know where their catalytic converter is or its function? If the answer is no, there’s good reason for that.

I have had a Facebook account since 2009. Before then, I used Myspace for connecting with family and friends. I didn't even set up my first Myspace page. A friend did it in 2006 using a picture of me she had taken with her cellphone. Surprising me, she called me from her lunchbreak at work to give me my new account password.
