The Three-Dimensional Printing Revolution
























3D printing has the potential to morph into something right out of a Jetson's + Star Trek dream. Already just about anyone could make all sorts of things with these gizmos. Can you imagine their expansion into popular culture by, say, the year 2020? Drop these into the only recently developing heady mix of digital, wireless, mobile devices, the internet, globally networked social media and all that jazz, and where do we go from here? Clone yourself a wig-hat, customize your own clothes, generate God knows what next? Life on planet Earth is already wild. But brace yourselves, it's about to get a whole lot wilder, folks . . . 

Grok it, man!

Erik, that stuff will be very cool. Now if I can just figure out how to do it-I still have trouble 'cutting and pasting'!
