I think it will, but I also think it will make the problem worse in some ways. I think it's inevitable, but not indefinite.

Thanks, Melvin! I couldn't agree more, and it's all about taking a look around everywhere, especially where areas of knowledge intersect. For me, that's where the magic really happens... and where a lot of wisdom lies that otherwise goes overlooked.
