Penny Jane yes Mark
11:23 AM
Optilang Hi DeClerc
Penny Jane so I have to start with that
Optilang It would be a good starting point
the idea that knowledge is passed on throughout the ages
11:24 AM
Optilang and also that knowledge can be used to shape the furute
future*
so the future will change because of the knowledge and skills that are passed on
Penny Jane and some more
