Reflections on the Power of Making Real Things

Some highlights: (of which there were many, watch the whole thing)

• Ebeling talks about focusing one person instead of trying to tackle a bigger problem. When you help one, you help many.
• “We are moving through many micro-industrial revolutions, on a monthly basis…”
• “A year ago the 3d printer was a collectible for makers and enthusiasts, this Christmas, Joey from Kansas City might of had it on his Christmas list. Being able to 3d print and do micro-production of your own things is a now something that the common person has access to.”
• “Its the industrial revolution in a $2000 box on your desk.”
• Commit and then figure out how you’re going to do it.
• “You can’t put the pieces back together in someone else’s life. But maybe if we print them new pieces, they’ll start to learn to put it together themselves.”
