Wrong-o+ACEAIQ- You cannot simply introduce the latest technology into a
+ACI-not-so-technologically+ACI- advanced society and expect the latest
technological effeciencies.

You also have to introduce a training program to the recipients of the
technology, and slowly change the society so that adaptation of the
technology is widespread.

An example was when they started surgar cane production in Hawaii - the
locals had no problem working all day in the fields, but if the fishing was
better, they would certainly not be in the fields. This was also one example
of where technology had to be introduced and inducted into society - it was
called the clock. +ACI-Bell rings - go to fields, etc...+ACI-

Just my +ACQ-.02.
