Even the complexity of his blueprints and the experimenting that went into them, like his famous solution to the problem of the shells construction (as segments of a single sphere, thus enabling the components to be mass-produced) and a similar solution to the acoustic ceilings based on the cylinder; and one for the soaring glass walls on the structure of a bird's wing.
The company founder, Meron Gribetz, says that the company is on track to create a mass produced solution shortly, but until then they have brought on Steve Mann, a real cyborg and wearable computing researcher, to act as a chief scientist.
Solution: replace these unsafe structures with a mass-produced, standard, affordable, and sustainable solution.
That's largely happened and now he believes that the same thing will happen in software, as new tools give everyday people the ability to customize their own software, instead of relying on mass-produced, off-the-shelf solutions.
One way to reduce waste is to stem the flow of mass-produced cheap products, at least until we have a solution.
He wrote, "Pop Art is: popular (designed for a mass audience); transient (short-term solution); expendable (easily forgotten); low cost; mass-produced; young (aimed at youth); witty; sexy; gimmicky; glamorous; big business".
Owing to its fabrication method and characteristics, these devices represent a reliable and low-cost solution for the integration of microfluidic control in mass-produced lab-on-a-chip devices.
Since no single vendor can keep pace with the outpouring of cheap, powerful, mass-produced components, customers insist on stitching together their own local systems solutions.
There is mounting pressure from below, from commoditisation, which means that standards-based IT solutions defeat proprietary offerings because the first can be mass-produced and so attract more research and development.
An implication is to question the notion of mass-produced "one-size-fits-all" home energy monitors and whether solely technological solutions (such as energy monitors) actually achieve the desired results.
Any workable solution needs to acknowledge that an artisanal instrument is not a mass-produced object: it has a unique history and character.
