Infrastructure cannot be "repaired" if we have no idea of what we want
Suppose we want something beyond cars and commuting
Beyond detached houses built for size
Suppose we want walkable communities with enough population to enable viable local businesses
A way to work and be educated at or near home
Zoning that integrates everything in a sane and rational way
The miracle of cyberspace means we can choose where and how we live and move and have our being
Once the mind is liberated from resignation to our current sprawl culture
we can see a cyber-community as a giant step beyond what we now have
We could mass produce lego like components for the construction of modular units of space
These could supply the world
We could create a giant matrix that would serve 5-10K
Accommodating myriad forms built from these components
Enabling technological macro elements that no individual could afford
For recycling,
Energy generation
Enjoyable face to face living
A reformed education system
The integration of cyber-capacity with every element of socio-cultural existence
Enabling technological macro elements that no individual could afford
For recycling,
Energy generation
Enjoyable face to face living
A reformed education system
The integration of cyber-capacity with every element of socio-cultural existence
Cyber-communities would be safe from most weather emergencies
They would enable new economies
New jobs
New mobility
