2. What do you think of the maker movement?
User participation advances as technology advances over time. It has become easier/more affordable to learn how to do things yourself.

This saves the user time and money on top of the personal satisfaction of accomplishing the task by oneself. I think the maker movement will continue to grow with a exponentially increasing population of DIY selfers.
