ReplyDeleteI'm gonna print the Turbo Toilet 2000!
ReplyDeleteThis is just the beginning. There is work being done to use 3D printing with various metals and chemicals to create weapons and even edible products; the replicators of Roddenberry's vision are this much closer. What should concern us is that much of the funding for the chemical and bioengineering possibilities will likely come from corporations like Monsanto. The implications of 3D printing on a microscopic level are immense and not to be taken so lightly as this initial, innocuous 5.5" cube of plastic moldings. There are serious things to weigh with this level of technology.

ReplyDeletelike every other development in history this will change everything and then again nothing...as did the wheel, as did the steam machine, as did weapons of any kind. there will always be "good" and "bad", and it always is a question of what an individual makes out of a given situation and the framework it is surrounded by.
ReplyDeletei in any case look at it with positive spirit, since change triggers change, and that is the only constant in life. a remarkable century ahead, or as seth godin would say, we are going through the revolution of mass customisation (coming from mass production). a truly transforming time.
