Changing from a traditional corporate structure to a virtual office environment is: correct
answers a more significant change than it first appears due to legal, information security,
productivity measurement, time management, taxation and other challenges.
From the perspective of sustainable engineering, military experiences such as the Iraq conflict
strongly warn against correct answers focusing too much on technology, and not enough on
cultural and social contexts within which that technology is deployed.
Military activities lead to correct answers impacts that have significant effects on subsequent
history; dominance of particular cultures over other cultures; technological evolution; ALL of
The Above

What "success story" reminded us that (1) products which appear "green" at the present, may
have unexpected long-term impacts, (2) scales of impacts must be carefully considered and
monitored, (3) option spaces sometimes drive decision processes, and (4) a little luck never
hurts? correct answers CFCs and the Montreal Protocol.
