We have seen how the new technology is eliminating traditional jobs. But the same technology has opened new possibilities in how goods are designed, finance and produced. This week we will examine the Makers Movement which is in essence Open Source for hardware. Here are some TED Talks for background:
- Massimo Banzi: How Arduino is open-sourcing imagination
- Ayah Bdeir: Building blocks that blink, beep and teach
- Dale Dougherty: We are makers
Even the Obama administration is getting on the Maker bandwagon by announcing the first-ever White House Maker Faire.
