What I find most exciting is that in the coming years, the technologies that right now only seem possible in big labs might experience a revolution– might acheive the ease and cheapness that software development has today. Some examples: Fab@Home for 3d printing http://www.fabathome.org/ http://www.fabathome.org/, Arduino for hardware hacking http://www.arduino.cc/ http://www.arduino.cc/, and BioBricks for genome hacking http://biobricks.org/ http://biobricks.org/. This article really struck me as a fascinating example of garage-based genome hacking that turned into something really useful. http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-09/are-genome-hackers-future-biotech http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-09/are-genome-hac...
