Print3D Printing and The Replicator Economy | Txchnologist [4]:
Interesting article about the economic changes and impacts of 3D printing. However, the quote:
“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: most households will not purchase and run a 3D printer to produce their own products,” Terry Wohlers, the president of Wohler Associates, recently wrote. Average consumers might have small inexpensive printers for making children’s toys, but he thinks most people will lack the skills, interest or financial commitment needed to routinely make their own products.
To me, that sounds an awful lot like:
“There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home.” — Ken Olson, president/founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977.
