We believe that the next step in copying will be made from digital form into physical form. It will be physical objects. Or as we decided to call them: Physibles. Data objects that are able (and feasible) to become physical. We believe that things like three dimensional printers, scanners and such are just the first step. We believe that in the nearby future you will print your spare sparts for your vehicles. You will download your sneakers within 20 years.

The Pirate Bay now lets you download physical objects  (via courtenaybird)

Now that “You Wouldn’t Download a Car” meme isn’t half as funny as it use to be. Dammit, 3D printing! How dare you make life easier?!

    Despite having read the Wikipedia article, I still can’t really get my head around 3D printing. That, however, doesn’t...
