Longer lasting with an approach lasting more than one generation, possibly several, so Explanation: the infrastructure would evolve as each generation came into the world, grew up, and contributed something new to the existing infrastructure.. This is not quite so easy but perhaps it is a little clearer now. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2006-08-10 20:25:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Lasting generations and not just one. |

I wouldn't take "generation" too literally. Explanation: I don't think this is about generations of people at all. I think it is used in the same sense as for first, second and third generation mobile phones. The evolutionary infrastructure is improved up to the point at which a more radical change occurs, and what comes after it is the next "generation". I don't know how you'd compare their "durability", but a "generational approach" might be faster than continuing evolutionary change at a slow and steady rate. |

peer agreement (net): +2inter-generational compatibility? Explanation: This would mean that the strategic planning/design/development should be done in a way that each generation of the technology is designed with an eye for future generations to come and accounting for the fundamental usability features of previous generations. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 55 mins (2006-08-10 21:04:48 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And this is how it's connected to "durability": the compatibility approach would ensure that the current generation will be still functional as the future generations emerge. |
