240652 -   29.  The major change in PM has been technology to increase speed
240653 -        and accuracy managing cost, schedule, and quality.  However,
240654 -        despite increased computer power, better management remains
240655 -        elusive, shown by case study on 020504. ref SDS 19 NS6F

240658 -   30.  Since "management is 90% communication," better tools for cost
240659 -        and schedule do not improve management, unless tools also
240660 -        improve communication.  The market place has focused on things
240661 -        like cell phones, video conferencing, email, networking [most
240662 -        recently reviewed on 060317, ref SDS 22 IT5V], but these tools
240663 -        only increase information density that overwhelms span of
240664 -        attention, causing endless errors, reported on 990303.
