Instructable technology, robotics, programming and other systems that can be intuitively modified. The word itself has yet to be included in the websters/cambride/oxford dictionary but at the very least on a scholarly level its been used at an increasing rate in books since about the 1970's. I believe its soon going to be a colloquial term,  considering how quickly technology is progressing.

Not to be confused with "instructables" which is a DIY term, related to the website instructables.com . I think a big part of the search metrics on the word is related to this similarity however, the word itself has been used in academic literature for decades.

I'd be happy to hear whatever the community has to say.
