Cool post... echos thinking around the water cooler. One guy here thought of a fanciful solution a few months ago. I'm posting for him. His advice: don't worry about deploying the latest technology. Don't worry about obsolescence. That's a "keeping up with the Jones' " strategy. Instead, take a few engineers and lock them away in a secret facility. Put them to work on the time machine. Who cares how long it takes, once it's finished, they can come back with the benefit of hindsight and precisely guide you towards optimum solutions. So you don't need the best and brightest. Just the ones with staying power. Who cares how much money it costs. Put a few bucks in the bank today - maybe a few banks - & when they're finished they can dial the exponent of the compound interest to whatever you want. Those working on the project won't need wages. Imagine the completion bonus! The sheer simplicity of his idea is stunning. It is almost a certainty that in some future it has already occurred ;)
