Since I got involved in Telco, we first developed the first modular truck, the 407, then the 709, and now the 2213. These trucks broke away from the old face of Telco trucks. I was also just as much involved with the Safari, but nobody talks about the Safari. My involvement has been there with all Telco's projects -somehow the car has got hyped up.

The iPod is a proprietary integrated product, although that is becoming quite modular. You can download your music from Amazon as easily as you can from iTunes. You also see modularity organized around the Android operating system that is growing much faster than the iPhone. So I worry that modularity will do its work on Apple.

I locate a great deal of the power of Occupy Wall Street in the name itself, 'Occupy Wall Street,' or '#OccupyWallStreet.' It works because the name contains everything you need to know: the tactic and the target. The name is also modular. You can create your own offshoot in your own city.

The great thing about making an ensemble show is it becomes modular. It might work on the page to cut from one scene to another, but on the screen, it's more powerful to take that second scene and move it first or move it later.

I think that that's something that's pretty interesting about a GoPro - it's the one camera that we know of that you can combine with like cameras to form new cameras. So it's a bit of a modular system.

I am convinced that the modular structure of the Mir will be the main trend in manned orbital stations development in the next century.

Modular objects offer flexibility, as parts can be rearranged or replaced depending on needs.

Flexibility Benefits

'Modular' implies you can customize components for personal or specific use.

Customization

Modular systems are ideal for growing businesses or evolving projects.

Growth Adaptation

In math, modular operations ensure results stay consistent despite changing some numbers.

Mathematical Consistency

Understanding modular concepts is key in advanced mathematical fields like cryptography.

Number Theory

Modular computing systems can grow with technological advances, avoiding obsolescence.

Tech Scalability

In computing, 'modular' components work alone, promoting easier maintenance and development.

 it's very strong but very easily manipulated. It's modular in its nature. Clothing design as it stands today is very rarely modular. Take this motorcycle jacket as an example. It's a pretty standard jacket with its buttons, zippers and trim. But in order for us to efficiently recycle a jacket like this, we need to be able to easily remove these items

 in terms of the number of different scientific advances that it's going to catalyze. The thing that's special about it is this modular targeting system. I mean, we've been shoving DNA into organisms for years, right? But because of the modular targeting system, we can actually put it exactly where we want it.

What you need to know...

 on a chip. Generating tissues of predictable density and behavior is the second piece, and will be really key towards getting these models to be adopted for drug discovery. And this is a schematic of a bioreactor we're developing in our lab to help engineer tissues in a more modular, scalable way.

 that gets pollinated by other species in times when you're not around to help. Finally, in addition to nestedness, the networks are usually modular. This means that the species in a network are compartmentalized into modules of plants and animals that interact more with each other

How bees help plants...

 In all of us, it turns out we are born with everything wired to everything else. So, every brain region is wired to every other region, and these are trimmed down to create the characteristic modular architecture of the adult brain. So, if there's a gene causing this trimming

 and I'm trying to help back that. Nathan Myhrvold and I actually are backing a company that, perhaps surprisingly, is actually taking the nuclear approach. There are some innovations in modular, liquid. Innovation really stopped in this industry quite some ago,

 solar power is scaling up faster than cellphones for six years running half the world's editions of electric generating capacity have been renewable and the fastest-growing parts have been the modular mass-produced renewables

Why modern renewable...

 or is there something left to innovate here? And I realized that I had hit upon something that I think has this huge potential to change the world. And this is what it is. This is a small modular reactor.

Taylor Wilson: My...

 just didn't exist yet. I needed tools that were robust, modular, highly efficient and optimized, low-cost, made from local and recycled materials that would last a lifetime, not designed for obsolescence.

 building anything this big is not for the faint of heart thanks to its modular outrigger truss design workers are building the world financial center at a rate of one floor every three days
