I thought that the reading of the Mississippi river gave me a very visual representation of a large scaled system to a mass population. That river is used widely amongst its community to make lives easier when it is actually ruining the land around it. This article made me think about the process of trial and error in a systematic project. I took great interest in this since I have studied some about the way a river will move over a period of time and we are trying to corrupt nature using our technology. I didn't understand the way the river kept overflowing when they raised the levies, but I never thought the side rivers of the Mississippi having reduced water flow output would dig into the Earth solving the overflow.
