The new tool should be cheaper than the one it replaces. 2 It should be at least as small in scale as the one it replaces. 3 It should do work that is clearly and demonstrably better than the one it replaces. 4 It should use less energy than the one it replaces. 5 If possible, it should use some form of solar energy, such as that of the body. 6 It should be repairable by a person of ordinary intelligence, provided that he or she has the necessary tools. 7 It should be purchasable and repairable as near to home as possible. 8 It should come from a small, privately owned shop or store that will take it back for maintenance and repair. 9 It should not replace or disrupt anything good that already exists, and this includes family and community relationships.
