In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

  • 3D printing will eliminate human labor in manufacturing. This technology will fundamentally change, if not completely eliminate markets.

  • @kanefreeman1

    Perhaps very true, but beside all the tech that we got the system that we live in abuses it, every thing exist with one purpose only to serve the humanity, but unfortunately our leaders do not serve the people and that is the point where people should step up and stop that money, power, elite insanity and fake illusion! Na'vi, Wake Up!

  • it's all about the materials.. you can't make a plastic gun, the hammer's gotta be metal.. so until they can incorporate metal into this technology, it's mostly fruitless..

  • If it only uses plastic, how can they make a motorcycle.. idk.. The number one problem I see with 3d printers, is the limit on the materials it can use... He mentioned they're starting to build houses out of concrete, using 3d printers, as well as making art-work out of food.. but seriously now, from plastic to concrete, to nifty little creations with food, I don't see this tech. getting so far..
