	OSE calls any technology ''appropriate'' when it is open source, ~~though it~~ must ~~also~~ be a technology that is beneficial and lifegiving, as opposed to leading to degeneration or destruction. OSE extends the tradition concept of Appropriate Technology - typically applied to lower technologies for developing countries - to a more general concept of what is 'appropriate.' OSE views ''open source'' as the critical element that makes a technology benign - for examply by unleashing access to life-giving production and productivity - while remaining ecologically benign, socially just, and most importantly - ~~regenerative~~. OSE also assumes that when basic needs are met on [[Maslow's Pyramid]], people have a chance to evolve to [[Self-Determination]]. Open source appropriate technology is likely to mitigate the negative aspects of the [[Singularity]]. Thus, moving forward, it is crucial that open source, collaborative development gain a strong foothold in order to mid-course correct the development of the technosphere. OSE envisions sufficient rise of [[Integrated Humans]] as part of that solution.		OSE calls any technology ''appropriate'' when it is open source. This is because the transparency afforded by [[Open Source Development]] is likely to work out numerous 'bugs' or issues in the technology. Current, proprietary technology is by definition opaque, and many unintended consequences are likely to arise - potentially contibuting to [[Pressing World Issues]].

			Appropriate technology must be a technology that is beneficial and lifegiving, as opposed to leading to degeneration or destruction. OSE extends the tradition concept of Appropriate Technology - typically applied to lower technologies for developing countries - to a more general concept of what is 'appropriate.' OSE views ''open source'' and ''collaborative'' (see [[Open Source and Collaborative]]) as the critical element that makes a technology benign - for examply by unleashing access to life-giving production and productivity - while remaining ecologically benign, socially just, and most importantly - [[Regenerative]]. OSE also assumes that when basic needs are met on [[Maslow's Pyramid]], people have a chance to evolve to [[Self-Determination]].
