ephemeralization

Fuller saw ephemeralization as an inevitable trend in human development.

Here the evidences of ephemeralization are, if anything, even more pronounced.

This concept is similar to ephemeralization as proposed by Buckminster Fuller.

This can negate the advantages of ephemeralization.

Fuller's vision was that ephemeralization will result in ever-increasing standards of living for an ever-growing population despite finite resources.

From all these directions, strong pressures converge toward the same end: the inescapable ephemeralization of the man-thing relationship.

It proposes the author's vision of future prosperity driven by ephemeralization, Fuller's term for the process of doing more with less.

Quote: The smartphone and tablet computer "have effectively drilled a hole that will allow ephemeralization to flow into a lot of new areas."

Accelerating Socio-Technological Evolution: from ephemeralization and stigmergy to the global brain.

Essay on ephemeralization (worldtrans.org)

Fuller published more than 30 books, coining or popularizing terms such as "Spaceship Earth", ephemeralization, and synergetic.

Fuller uses Henry Ford's assembly line as an example of how ephemeralization can lead to better products at lower cost with no upper bound on productivity.

In 1938, Buckminster Fuller introduced the word ephemeralization to describe the trends of "doing more with less" in chemistry, health and other areas of industrial development.

Ephemeralization, an accelerating increase in the efficiency of achieving the same or more output (products, services, information, etc.) while requiring less input (effort, time, resources, etc.)

Francis Heylighen and Alvin Toffler have written that ephemeralization, though it may increase our power to solve physical problems, can make non-physical problems worse.

A similar perspective on the increasing efficiency of resource use, but not discussing increasing resource density, is found in Buckminster Fuller's writings on ephemeralization.

The ephemeralization of technology using big data and Internet of Things will continue to move us from a "materia trace" to a "data trace," and to gradually replacing specific-purpose devices.

Ephemeralization, a term coined by R. Buckminster Fuller, is the ability of technological advancement to do "more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing".

He was very aware of the finite resources the planet has to offer, and promoted a principle that he termed "ephemeralization", which, in essence-according to futurist and Fuller disciple Stewart Brand-Fuller coined to mean "doing more with less".

The extension of the throw-away culture, the creation of more and more temporary structures, the spread of modularism are proceeding apace, and they all conspire toward the same psychological end: the ephemeralization of man's links with the things that surround him.

Buckminster Fuller coined the term "ephemeralization," which means our ability to do more with less until eventually you can do everything with nothing, and when this translates to being more efficient and accomplishing more work with less and less materials, our entire economies will change.
