Description

That’s the promise, and peril, of the third digital revolution, where somebody will have the ability to make (almost) anything
Two digital revolutions–computing and communication–have radically transformed our economy and lives. A third digital revolution is here: fabrication. Nowadays’s 3D printers are just the beginning of a trend, accelerating exponentially, to turn data into objects: Neil Gershenfeld and his collaborators in the end aim to create a universal replicator straight out of Star Trek. Even as digital fabrication promises us self-sufficient cities and the ability to make (almost) anything, it will also result in massive inequality. The first two digital revolutions caught a number of the world flat-footed, thanks to Designing Reality that may not be true this time.
