Technological Time Binding
Abstract
A property of a technology which allows it to be understood such that future generations canbuild upon the technology. This implies that sufficient documentation exists such that non-experts can use the technology. In this scenario, experts are no longer required to act as intermediaries to that technology. As such, the technology is more likely to become an Open Source Appropriate Technology.
Practical
Technological Time Binding is a concept that embodies several design features for the purpose of making it easy for new generations of people to build upon existing technology, thus increasing the rate of progress and innovation. In an integrated sense - in that technology must also include environmental stewardship, and social justice. Some of the features of Tech Time Binding are:
- Modular Design - modules that can be built upon
- Construction Set Approach - makes it easy to make many variations of a technology
- Taxonomy - documentation of technology according to well-understood development processes, so that anyone who is collaboratively literate can find any desired development asset easily.
- Transparency - complete open source design, accessible assets - Collaborative Video Protocols, Collaborative Design Protocols, Collaborative Literacy
