Can You Solve Problems with Games?

Posted August 22, 2010 8:00 AM

Learning to think in new ways can have powerful results. Our Diversions item in this issue talks about "distributed thinking" via computer games as a way of shedding light on problems in biology. Is there something similar that could be done for the material handling industry? What are some of your major challenges and how can you approach them in a new way? Have you tackled a particularly irksome problem in a creative way?

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Material Handling, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Material Handling today.

Great, now you're using a third profile. I hope the moderators are taking notice. I doubt it though.

I'm not violating any rules

The only requirement for a CR4 membership is a unique email address

of course you as a guest can't even be bothered to sign up once

or are posting as "guest" to avoid any responsibility for your comments

The moderators are well aware of my movements on the site...
