Thanks for great explanation! people should no longer think IBS is low tech. In fact I think IBS would eventually meets 3D printing if not already.

A bread factory churning out tens of thousands of loaves of bread daily using high tech methods and fully automatic equipment coupled with distribution network to send fresh bread within hours to various destinations near and far.
A neighbourhood bakery churning out a few hundred loves of bread made by hand and only retails to the neighbourhood.
You may say the first is high tech and the second one low tech.
But actually they are both belong to the low tech industry.

If you don't have high tech Lucasfilm, you can still survive
But if you don't have low tech bread factory, you starved to death.
That is the difference.
It is only when you no longer have hunger, you start to think what is better.
Always go back to the fundamentals and don't forget the ones who got you high tech in the first place.

Life has its own choices. No one is wrong. Only priorities differ.

You are entirely out of context.
Anyway, wanting to drink fresh milk, you keep a cow in your backyard?

He is referring to bread making as low technology, the difference is only the size between an MNC bakery and mom and pop bakery.

If I don't rear a cow, how do I export milk and make money from others?

I'm sure he knows (actually hopefully) but just wanted to have final say, never mind if its out of context.

Brilliant.
And please don't forget to harvest the cow dung as manure for the grass to grow better.:p

If there's no manure, you think you have vegetables to eat? :p

Has anyone authoritative in the technology world having same definition as yours as to what constitute low tech and high tech?

Peace to my two bros, both of you meant well for the communities here!

Maybe you should read up more on the happenings in EDB where you'll find the definition of High Tech.
In fact, EDB has already identified several high tech sectors for SG for the next decade to turn the country into a truly global cosmopolitan city.
Among them are :

InfoTech products and service - which include InfoComm, cloud computing, data analytics, cyber security, design and research etc. (do you know Twitter Asia Pacific HQ is in SG?)
MedTech - which include pharmaceutical and biotechnology R&D and production, clinical research etc.
Water Industry - which include innovation and development of new water management and treatment technologies, SG is already recognised as the ‘Global Hydrohub’
Interactive and Digital Media - include video games design, animation and new forms of digital entertainment.
FinTech - include financial technology, banking and insurance, etc.
Aerospace - include all aviation-related services and manufacturing; SG also host the very successful annual International Airshow.

OMG!
Using animal waste as fertiliser is not even low tech, it is so backward and uncivilised...........you are still so 1960.

I do not see any part that suggests that using high tech to replace low tech work is low tech?

You'll never see.
And who said anything about replacement?
When your big boss announce that for the next few years, we'll be focusing on growth for A, B, C and D and didn't mention anything about E and F.
In time to come, A, B, C and D will all grow while E and F will remain status quo or slowly fade off.
The smart ones will ride and take advantage on the growth of A, B, C and D.
So, if you have children still in school, take note of the growing industries and enrol / nurture them accordingly for a brighter future.

No need to talk so much, everyone knows it is not rocket science to make bread. Jeez!

These days they use chemical fertilizers. It's the 21st century for COL!

Manfacturing fertilisers are low tech industries . Anyway, organics is a 21st century farming.

A story I want to relate:

Many years ago, my niece came to visit my mom at the kampong in MY
Saw a hen with some chicks ... exclaimed "Mom, the birds are so beautiful"
My sis in law said "Those are chicken, my dear"
My niece replied " No, they are birds. Chicken do not have feathers. Like you told me in the supermarket"
I don't blame her. Never seen a live chicken before.

Different generations, different expectations.
Just remember to go back to fundamentals.

True, but manure fertilizering is really stone age.

 

[Tekkun]

True, but manure fertilizering is really stone age.

Manure is not what you think la. Not the sticky stuff.

What they do is to go through a process (again manufacturing equipment) where it become pellets just like what you buy from garden shops.
Oxidation, wash down, filtering, caking and lastly drying before being pelletised. And you won't even know it come from manure if no one tell you.
I buy bags of these fertilisers for my plants and trees.

By the way, totally clean farming such as hydroponics is not good for health.

Enough of bread making and manure already. Now back to property forum.

So a surgery using manual way is low tech while a surgery using high tech equipment is also low tech?

Btw, I don't see nuclear technology in the list, so it is low tech?
