3D printers are going to change the world - and the future of work for everyone

63. I don't know about the "ingredients"

And will there be governmental regulation restricting "ingredients" so the world isn't turned upside down? I can easily see the Koch brothers lobbying to make whatever 'ingredients' you need to make stuff available only to large corporations.

Crap, you know, that's probably what will happen.

Building the printers is the easy part. Having access to what you need to make what you want might be tricky. This is a very new but rapidly evolving technology.

But yes. This could save the environment. Just the one example of printing food could dramatically improve the environment, AND make food plentiful for everyone. Think of it. EVERYONE could have enough food. No more starvation because of drought or pestilence or mold or fungus or whatever kills crops and food animals.

Everything is 'organic' - has a molecular structure. But how to get what you need to create what you want is going to be an interesting issue. Maybe eventually you'll be able to just buy starter kits on Amazon
