The theory is that any technologty can fit into a nine cell matrix,
and that matrix is therefore the way to classify technology.
The matrix is as follows:
Process Transport Store
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
| | | |
Matter | | | |
| | | |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
| | | |
Energy | | | |
| | | |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
| | | |
Information | | | |
| | | |
+-----------+-----------+-----------+
For example, a computer is an information processor, a battery is an
energy storage device, a conveyor or a truck is a matter transport
device, a transmission line is an energy transportation device, etc.
