What is it about?
This paper traces the advent of machines in the industrial age and how they have continued to evolve into highly complex systems. It includes predictions for a commercial low Earth orbit economy in the year 2060. It also points to a framework for the overwhelmed office worker faced with keeping a system like this viable over decades.

Why is it important?
We will continue to see more and more complex systems living longer and longer lives. You will probably find yourself in an organization tasked with keeping one of the these systems alive. Very clever systems engineers and systems manager have already solved many of these problems for you. Why not learn from them?
Perspectives
I was privileged to work with the very clever systems engineers and systems managers for 25 years. I am happy to pass along their solutions.
