Democratizar a inovação

"3-D printers  will be mainstream in the next decade and that they'll completely revolutionize the way we live. The possibilicies are limitless." he said. -We can't even know how exactly they will change our lives yet. It would be like asking someone in the 1970s to guess how the internet would change our lives. It's going to change absolutely everything.
...
Best of all, with3-D printers, anytime that anyone comes up with a great object that solves an existing problem, the inventor will be able to disseminate the new invention with unbelievable speed.
...
And the factory of the future won't be the mass-production plant in the developing world; it will much more likely be your tech-savvy neighbor's garage ... or anywhere you can rent the use of a 3-D printer. In the same way that the invention of the printing press in the middle of the last millennium democratized knowledge by making it possible for people outside of the elite to get books, 3-D printers promise to democratize innovation for this millennium. It will no longer simply be the connected, corporate-funded elite who will be able to create inventions and designs that reach the masses. In the 21st century, everyone will have the tools necessary to create and spread their creations. Small audiences, even as small as one, will have a voice to ask for a custom product to meet their needs, and individuals will have the power to answer."
