    Interesting to know about this. Could you inform us a bit about the Zeitgiest Movement and how engineers can contribute to it? Maybe it'd be a good idea to have Mr. Gangoly to share some information on this.

    The founder of this philosophy and the complete Zeitgeist Movement, Mr. Fresco is known as a social engineer. A lot of information for anyone who wants to be an activist of this idea is available at their global website, here: #-Link-Snipped-#
