The greatest impact on human potential may come from specific applications of Tapping. Most people know that computers require programs also called applications in order to do anything useful. If you wanted to use the computer, you had to learn all the ins and outs. Today, of course, there are hundreds of thousands of skilled programmers and app developers worldwide… and billions of people who benefit from those applications.
