The race towards developing technologies, systems and management models to support organization development, leadership and prosperity created a complexity hard to manage within the existing workforce, especially in the developed world.
The need for simplicity, mobility and accessibility were the major drivers towards creating a new discipline that can make technology ‘gamified’ for it to be used in a secure and controlled environment by everyone.

After the initial revolution, a second revolution gradually grew that included chemicals, most notably petroleum (refining and distribution), and, in the 20th century, the automotive industries developed, marking a transition of technological leadership from Britain to the United States and Germany. A third revolution began with electricity and electrification, and the introduction of hydroelectric power generation in the Alps enabled the rapid industrialization of coaldeprived…
