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. Customised 3D-printed appendages let Emma Lavelle play alongside her friends with new freedom

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". Man denies owning 3D printer gun components

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
