Systems such as transport networks, power generation, water treatment plants, mines, material processing plants and other industrial systems. They can be developed using principles of [[open design]], and being fully automated enable a number of things: they can be scaled up to provide everything that the global population requires with ultimate flexibility, and people are freed up to do things that ''people'', rather than machines, are good at and ''want'' to do. |
