companies of the modern era have to justify their existence not just with success, but growth, and Microsoft’s been struggling to do that.
All natural and technological processes proceed in such a way that the availability of the remaining energy decreases. In all energy exchanges, if no energy enters or leaves an isolated system, the entropy of that system increases. Energy continuously flows from being concentrated to becoming dispersed, spread out, wasted and useless. New energy cannot be created and high grade energy is being destroyed. An economy based on endless growth isǗ̷̺̲͖̹̅̕Ñ̸̓ͅS̷̡̱̫̈́̄Ȕ̸̱̦͜S̶̟̈̈́͐̆͐T̸̢͕̭̞̺̅̊͗̾A̶̢̞̔ͅI̸̜̜͕̓̔̎͝N̷̢̂̚͝Å̴̖̻̘̉͋͜ͅB̸̨̲̗̹́L̴̖͙̜̝̓̈́È̷͎̤
