Personalización y fabricación personal
“The past few centuries have given us the personalization of expression, consumption, and computation. Now consider what would happen if the physical world outside computers was as malleable as the digital world inside computers. If ordinary people could personalize not just the content of computation but also its physical form. If mass custommization lost the mass piece and become personal customization, with technology better reflecting the needs and wishes of its users because it’s been developed by and for its users.
The result would be a revolution that contains, rather than replaces, all of the prior revolutions. Industrial production would merge with personal expression, which would merge with digital design, to bring common sense and sensibility to the creation and application of advanced techonologies.”
La cita es del libro “The coming revolution on your desktop. From personal computers to personal fabrication.” De Neil Gershenfeld, profesor del MIT. Sin duda una estimulante lectura de verano.
Para el que quiera un resumen de su trabajo y motivación, esta charla del TED es un buen aperitivo.
