[TIPS] a glimpse at the future

Y’ know, I *do* feel like an echo chamber at times, and this time is no exception. I’ve mentioned this guy’s blog many times before. http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/ I look forward to reading what he has to say every time he posts.

 

In this post: http://educationaltechnology.ca/couros/729 he embeds a YouTube video (Danger, Will Robinson!) of a man who has invented a printer that prints 3-D objects. Wait ‘till you see what it does. It’s in its infancy, but here’s another one to project out 20 years. Then go out another 20 yrs or so. What will the world be like when we can build those little things that we need on the spur of the moment – when we’re ALL able to manufacture things. Those folks with the creative talents will have a field day, won’t they?

 

This reminds me of the saying, “The only sure way to predict the future is to invent it.”
