In the reading, it mentions the Old and New World. This is seen on page 216, where it states “… you can bring the Old World’s knowledge and technology to the new…”. This reminded me of The Columbian Exchange, a term referring to the widespread transfer of animals, plants, culture and disease between the New World and the Old World.

Another term that came to me in this reading was Infrastructure. Infrastructure is basic support systems to support an economy and/or keep it going.
