"I am enthusiastic over humanityâ€™s extraordinary and sometimes very timely ingenuity. If you are in a shipwreck and all the boats are gone, a piano top buoyant enough to keep you afloat that comes along makes a fortuitous life preserver. But this is not to say that the best way to design a life preserver is in the form of a piano top. I think that we are clinging to a great many piano tops in accepting yesterdayâ€™s fortuitous contrivings as constituting the only means for solving a given problem."

-- R. Buckminster Fuller
