Extract

It would be difficult to exaggerate the impact of models on our lives — in recreation, education, investigation, inspiration, and intuition. The models can be real or abstract, static or dynamic, simple or complex, and scaled in size or time. Their use can be either explicit or implicit. Appreciation of the value of models has been heightened by the availability of desktop computing power. Experts on any topic cannot be interviewed on TV without a personal computer in the background, to reinforce their image.
