That argument doesn't work. Computers were the quickest growing and improving technology in history.
I actually like 3D printing, and think it's pretty neat, but it's also pretty limited right now. I believe it will improve, probably a lot, but it's asking a lot comparing to computers.
- nekopa 11y agoI guess that is if you mean digital computers. We could sat that computers started in 1801 with the Jacquard Loom, meaning we may have to wait about a 180 years to see what 3D printing turns into. Then again, could we say that the Jacquard Loom was actually the first 3D (2D?) printer?
