ABSTRACT
Information systems are essential for "response agriculture". The famous IntiWatanas, the Inca sundials were a technological detail of "response agriculture" as the development of the Inca Empire was a matter of coping with the challenges of the Medieval Climatic Anomaly in the Central Andean Highlands. Such archaic but smart techniques can be understood only when considered in their original socio-ecologic context.
