thinking cities design
Business culture operates differently in different cities around the world. But I don't think it's possible to design one system that incorporates all social norms for networking. Human beings are just too diverse.

running water fundamentals
Along with planes, running water, electricity, and motorized transportation, the internet is now a fundamental fact of modern life.
