- smsm42 14y agoFacebook was created 9 years ago, he's probably older than 9 (though I can't be sure), so poor chap can't understand Facebook!
- nitrogen 14y ago3D printing is not a system for intercontinental information interchange. The Internet is fundamentally different from any other technology (apart from its direct predecessors like BBSes), and cannot be reasoned about by analogy to any other technology. It's another layer of abstraction in human interaction that supersedes all previous layers (e.g. spoken language, written language, printing press, telephone). Not "understanding" the Internet (as I intended the word "understanding" in my previous post) is like not "understanding" what it's like to be born with an extra arm. In the same vein, those who will grow up with 3D printing, never knowing a world in which it doesn't exist, will think of it in ways that those of us who already had well-formed views of the world can't fathom.
