    Hello all,

           The US Army War College publishes a quarterly
    review titled "Parameters." Two articles in the Summer
    2002 issue caught my eye

    Technology and Change

    "Emerging Technologies and Exponential Change:
    Implications for Army Transformation," by Kip P. Nygren
    http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/02summer/nygren.htm

    and

    "The Effects of Technology on Our Humanity," by D. Keith
    Shurtleff
    http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/02summer/shurtlef.htm

    See also:

    Future Warfare and the Decline of Human Decisionmaking
    http://carlisle-www.army.mil/usawc/Parameters/01winter/adams.htm

    I haven't yet read any of these, and I cannot vouch for
    their worth. Indulge my observation that the US military
    introduced the idea of exponential change into its
    professional journals--before it grew obvious.

    P.S.: Greg, I mentioned the first article at lunch today.
