FUTURE FUTURES…………………
Even for those archetypal, DIY
garage inventors, they can now download free design tools like Blender or
Google’s SketchUp to create 3D renderings of their product, then purchase online the manufacturing
equipment (which have fallen in price from the hundred thousands to a few thousand, e.g. MakerBot) they would need to
build their products at home or in their rented space.

Man denies owning 3D printer gun components
A man suspected of possessing a 3D printer with component parts to make a gun
said the seized equipment had "nothing to do with a gun whatsoever".
O–I–Y
Organise (IT) Yourself
RECIPE:
1. Take innovative independent organisations
2. Blend together with some organising ‘oil’
3. Introduce them to some geeks/hacktivists
4. Add a mix of social media
5. Work in equal amounts of open ingredients:
- Open Access, Open Networks, Open Systems
(added spice with Open Source – optional)
6. Organise a ‘Digital Bake-off’ (or two)
(aka apps challenges, hackathons, co-production days)
Result = Innovation through Inclusion = Happiness
