Intel Aids Diligence to Be Prepared

Rod,
..
[Responding to your letter on August 16 on advantages of SDS to help managers exercise diligence to be parpared for their work...] Technology can aid one in discipline, but it does none of the things you mention except remembering. People do those things. The problem is most likely in people, and not in machines. The solution is then most likely in people, and not machines. All these activities have been occurring thousands of years before the computer.

Sincerely,



Jones, Morris
