See the BIG picture:
Moving vehicles have an operating system to help them run.
A library, school, city, and the media are all pieces of our key public information organizations.
Our public information organizations use digital operating systems to help them run.
Moving vehicles, libraries, schools, cities, and the media use programming tools to help them run.
And, a community has operating systems of programming, people, and procedures to help them run.
All of these operating systems have similiarities. For example, each of the previous operating
systems contain objects (pieces & parts) that interface with the other objects in some manner. And, each object acts in some manner to process information. But, each object acts (processes
information) at a distance from every other object.
The operating system of a moving vehicle is less complex than the operating system of
library, school, city, or newspaper. And, the operating system of a library is less complex than
the operating system of a community.
A community consists of a network of moving vehicles, libraries, schools, cities, villages, and
medias. A community consists of people, procedures, and programming. But, moving vehicles, digital networks, and community networks all have similairities.
When we understand how the how the various pieces & parts are similar then we are better equipped to administer the operations related to their differences.
