I’m a big fan of technology. I do things with technology sometimes which are of no practical benefit to me, but I do them because I’m curious. Because I can. I ran Linux on my iPod just because. I swapped the firmwares on a Korean wireless router with a tweaked Cisco firmware just for the heck of it. I try out new things not because I need them, but because I’m curious.

You’d be able to print clothing, accessories, even spare-parts for the machines that are printing these for you. You’d be able to print your own breakfast. And chances are, you won’t even need a computer to do all these things.

Today, we have walking people with no pulse. People whos hearts have given in but technology hasn’t. They have blood running through their bodies – they breathe, they eat and sleep and go about their daily business as usual. But if you put your ears close to their chest, they have no heartbeat.
