The focus on sophisticated technology - electric and hybrid cars, energy-efficient devices, solar panels and wind turbines, for instance - has little or no effect because these green technologies require large amounts of energy and resources for their manufacture, which makes their development highly dependent on a continuous supply of fossil fuels. What we need to solve our problems is exactly the opposite: less sophisticated technology. There is a lot to learn from the past. While they often worked surprisingly good, most of low-tech solutions have been completely forgotten. In his speech, Kris de Decker explains that reverting to past technologies does not mean that we should go back to the Middle Ages. Rather, it means combining old tech with new knowledge and new materials, or applying old concepts and lost knowledge to modern technology.</p><p><a href="http://videos.liftconference.com/photo/3046721"><img src="http://videos.liftconference.com/1984080/3046721/7fb7f421868c9ecd3c4fffadbb838d86/standard" width="645" height="362"/></a></p> http://videos.liftconference.com/photo/3046721 Tue, 20 Sep 2011 10:10:56 GMT Kris de Decker "Ecotech myths and lessons from the past" The present-day approach towards a sustainable society is doomed to fail.
