Design for the other 90%
• 90% of today’s designers work for the richest 10% of world’s customers
• We need things like:– $2 eyeglasses– $3 drip irrigation systems– $5 household water filter– $10 solar lantern– $100 house with real market value

Design for other 90%• Treadle pump example:
– supply chain in Bangladesh• 75 private sector manufacturers• 3,000 village dealers• 3-4000 village technicians
– impacts:• 2.1 million poor families in Asia and Africa• collective investment $50M• collective income increased by $210M/year forever!• cost to put same 1M acres under dam/canal
irrigation: $2B+

Design for other 90%
• Hybrid Solar Food Dryer example:– conventional sun drying
• inconsistent moisture level => low price• dependent on weather• limited capacity• lack of hygiene
– solution:• hybrid solar/wood heat dryer• PV powered circuiation, moisture monitoring

Design for other 90%• Hybrid Food Dryer cont.
– 1000kg in, 250kg out– 10 year life– $62.50/day value– $12K cost => 192 day payback w/o credit, 288
days w/ credit, $150K lifetime value added– business plan includes local manufacturers,
farmer coops, financing institution, entrepreneur, loan guarantor

So how to bridge the divide?• Manufacturing is the basis of most economic activity• Economic activity is essential to all 100% of the world’s
population – spread it out!• An exponentially increasing world population needs
exponentially increasing productivity• Automation is the only way to achieve the efficiencies
needed to provide energy, food, goods, and services for the world population
• Use people when appropriate and robots when appropriate• Watch for unintended consequencies
– displaced local farmers or workers– environmental degradation– resource depletion– defacto subsidies for uneconomical processes
