Once the steam enter the building, it goes into a radiator, turns into water and gives off heat in the process--the same type of reaction that causes third degree burns from steam. When the water vapor contracts into a more dense state--from gas to liquid--it gives off energy in the form of heat. Once the steam condenses to water after it has served its heating purpose, it is sent back to the plant through the same system of underground lines and tunnels...
...Enter electronic cash. The idea of digital money is simple enough: instead of storing value on paper, find a way to wrap it in a string of digits that's more portable and (most important) smarter than its paper counterpart. Smart money? Well, yes. Because digital cash is endlessly mutable, you can control it much more precisely than paper money.

Again, I am impressed by the silence, and respect that the silence implied. Nobody asks me why I'm dressed the way I am, except for the polite query, "Is it a special holiday today?" Nobody wants to offend at Harvard, but it leaves me feeling rather lonely. I find my friends, though, and eat a weary meal...
