Physical resource consumption arising out of physiological, hygienic and social needs from daily living can be viewed as being a priori, giving consumption a transcendental character.  Hence one can say this leads to unaccountability of the consumption of resources on an individual and also on a collective basis, since the processes and the institutions involved in creating and delivering these needs have not evolved nor intended to deliver such accountability. How can ICT connect the a priori with physical resource consumption and hence aid in self regulation of vital resources?
