  1. This article got me wondering just how much of the manufacturing of computers ie laptops ,smartphones and tvs are done completly by machine/automation and how much would have to be left to be fully automated in each case. http://www.mnn.com/green-tech/resear...china-obsolete keep in mind the same premise i have stated in this topics beggining about a fuly automated moneyless society http://www.sciencefo...740#entry712740 http://www.ft.com/in...l#axzz2BvglZLwL http://www.wantchina...02&MainCatID=11 http://ifixit.org/2201/rare-look-inside-foxconn-reveals-more-automation-less-repairability/ okay i know the issue with regards to its harder to repair and dissasemblae if its done more and more by machine but is it possible for example to improve durability or get around this issue in other words redesign the Ipad/Iphone(or future similar products as well as automaating without affecting the ability to disassemble the same goes for laptops can they be produced fully automated without affecting the ability to dismantle the battery or can there be alterations to the design to help with these technical problems
  2. okay but im talking about a level ground the same you would find on farmland say corn or wheat field.Otherwise could self catering hydroponics of trees and bamboo can meet the needs of growing it for personal wood production for more complex furniture(since paper can be gotten from algea and decking and general around the house can be gained from biopolymers mixed with plant fibres)
  3. If hyppothetically if one was to design a society wherein labor intensive work was performed by machinery in order to eliminate money(like star trek) and the need of humans in complex work could be eradicated to allow for the arrival of new incentives for humankind outside of the confines of monatary growth one must look at each sector of the economy in order elimate the need for scarcity and human labour.(in other words Star Trek) I know the agricultural industry can ruled out via hydro/aeroponics in the case of crops(as plants from the size of lettuce to cocoa trees and tea can be done at home or at the site of production.I also know algea can replace cotton,all forms of vegtable oil,wheat and paper(and recycle phosphorous in sewage treatment plants) and gm bacteria can produce rubber,sugar and other condiments.In vivo meat can reduce the resources put into meat production and recirculating aquaculture systems can replace the fishing industry.I also know that a large degree of the mining industry can be automated.Energy can come from geothermal which could supply 80-90% of our energy needs for the nes 20 millenia.A large section of the secondary sector can be done through 3d printing ie furniture,glass everyday items and even cars and housing(see Contour Crafting and Neri Oxman),and the clothing industry has just become fully automated thanks to DARPA and their automated sewing machines But what about the forestary industry? Am wondering just how much of the forestary sector be fully automated to the point of requiring no human input. Im going to pitch a scenairio wherein commercial scaled hydro/aeroponics in homes/towns/cities leaves huge tracts of farmland to be utilised for farming trees.Algea which can replace cotton(and other plant textiles),all forms of vegetable oil and wheat and other cereals can also aid this scenario alongside in vivo meat and bacteria that can produce sugar can aso clear up more of level ground. Okay so istead of trees being forested on hilly,uneven areas they are planted and grown in the same manner as crops(and harvested) in a rotational manner over large areas of land to make automating each step more easier.Im going to go through each step and then see how it can be automated and could anyone help me to see if full automation in each area is possible. 1.Planting: http://iloapp.overki...=1274376468.pdf 2.Felling and Bucking 3.Skidding: 4.Removing stumps: Stump out could be applied to remove them for a crop rotational system Is it possible to create a hybrid of a vehicle with a logging truck and the apparatus seen in the first felling and bucking video in order save time etc on skidding So does this seem economically and technically feasible? Or we could skip all this by using articial wood made from biopolymers and plant fibres from algea(i know algea can be used to create paper instead of trees)
  4. i know that bacteria have been engineered to produce spider silk but could the same be done for silkworm silk and other animal textiles such as wool. Ps im aware that algea can make paper and cotton substitutes thus meaning plant textiles are not a problem
