ABSTRACT

Achieving a sustainable society of innovation requires tying individual agents who have become estranged from nature and their local communities back into these spheres. At the same time, it has clearly been found that people inherently seek out nature and pleasure and are interested in achieving not a lifestyle of dependence, but of autonomy. The new shape of technology of the future is being called on to meet the needs of said lifestyles Technology produced out of a nature technology creation system that makes use of the rich bounty of nature is, in essence, that technology which situates a naturally informed viewpoint as its basis and that seeks to foster communication. The chapter discusses a selection of technologies developed out of backcasting various lifestyle contexts. Air conditioners are an essential part of achieving a comfortable lifestyle.
