IDEA: The Consumption Calculator
Summary
A system that allows me, a consumer, end-user, and wrangler to monitor my consumption patterns and ecological footprint on a minute-byminute basis. The system will work based on recommendation and reputation economies.
Abstract
As a consumer of oil and oil-based goods I can, if I desire, through a long and arduous process monitor my footprint in some limited form. I can never fully know the impact and extent of my true footprint but I will eventually desire to know this as a consumer and businesses will desire this data as well and cater to it.
If the objects and processes (SPIMES) that make-up my footprint can be tracked through an extensive set of meta-data consisting of commercial life and user metrics then my behaviors may likewise be tracked as well. This could be combined to create a psychometric meta-data about my footprint behaviors.
