From the Ted Talk by Neil Gershenfeld: Unleash your creativity in a Fab Lab

Unscramble the Blue Letters


And, finally, any talk like this on the future of computing is required to show Moore's law, but my favorite version — this is Gordon Moore's original one from his original paper — and what's happened is, year after year after year, we've scaled and we've scaled and we've sleacd and we've scaled, and we've scaled and we've scaled, and we've scaled and we've scaled, and there's this looming bug of what's going to happen at the end of Moore's law; this ultmtaie bug is coming. But we're conimg to appreciate, is the trtaosinin from 2D to 3D, from programming bits to programming atoms, turns the ends of Moore's law scaling from the ultimate bug to the ultimate feature. So, we're just at the edge of this digital revolution in fabrication, where the output of computation programs the physical world. So, together, these two projects awesnr qsnotuies I hadn't asked crlelufay. The casls at MIT shows the kiellr app for personal fabrication in the developed world is technology for a market of one: personal expression in technology that tuehocs a passion unlike anything I've seen in technology for a very long time. And the killer app for the rest of the planet is the instrumentation and the fabrication divide: popele locally developing solutions to local problems. Thank you.

And, finally, any talk like this on the future of computing is required to show Moore's law, but my favorite version — this is Gordon Moore's original one from his original paper — and what's happened is, year after year after year, we've scaled and we've scaled and we've scaled and we've scaled, and we've scaled and we've scaled, and we've scaled and we've scaled, and there's this looming bug of what's going to happen at the end of Moore's law; this ultimate bug is coming. But we're coming to appreciate, is the transition from 2D to 3D, from programming bits to programming atoms, turns the ends of Moore's law scaling from the ultimate bug to the ultimate feature. So, we're just at the edge of this digital revolution in fabrication, where the output of computation programs the physical world. So, together, these two projects answer questions I hadn't asked carefully. The class at MIT shows the killer app for personal fabrication in the developed world is technology for a market of one: personal expression in technology that touches a passion unlike anything I've seen in technology for a very long time. And the killer app for the rest of the planet is the instrumentation and the fabrication divide: people locally developing solutions to local problems. Thank you.
