A CWIS In Time: It Should Be User Irresistible

Some time ago I was invited to be a judge at an elementary school science fair. Before the judging took place, the other judges and I had a chance to meet with the budding scientists, engineers, sociologists, and other fifth and sixth graders who were doing their best to convince us that their projects were Nobel Prize material. One student, skeptical of my qualifications as a judge of his project, asked me, “What's your job when you are not being a judge?” “Why,” I said, “I'm the manager of advanced applications at Princeton University,” knowing that this would have him cowering in awe at my exemplary qualifications to judge sixth‐grade science projects.
