18. Drastic cost reduction in Manufacturing Development of an expensive system that requires many trial stages, such as fusion reactor Development of an innovative machine that requires frequent model changes, such as autos and airplanes Synthesis of new materials, such as proteins, medicines and nano-carbon-ubes etc.

19. Reductionism has made human’s thinking simple, and only neighboring, near-term conditions are taken into consideration in decision-making --- linear prediction Earth Simulator makes human consider global and long-term conditions and feedback them in decision-making --- nonlinear prediction Paradigm Shift in Human’s Thinking
