I missed an adjacent possible in my email. That is, I meant printers, to memory and hard drives. In the early '80's I worked for a wafer manufacturer making memory wafers, which then took us to disk drives, but the memory wafers were found to also be possible for solar arrays. One brief sentence doesn't properly describe the transition, but no one knows that better than you.
Steven, I'm hoping you can discuss some adjacent possible among the technologies helping fight global warming--bikes to cars to flywheel generators; pin wheel printers and computers to hard drives to solar cells; potato batteries to lithium--and beyond. I'm hoping there are unintended consequences that help save our environment sooner than later.

Those are great ideas -- thanks for the suggestion! Lots to explore there...
