Notable People Neil Gershenfeld, The Center For Bits And Atoms, MIT Pranav Mistry Institutes MIT Media Lab Books Fab: The Coming Revolution on Your Desktop--from Personal Computers to Personal Fabrication When Things Start to Think At its limit Nano / Molecular computing Quantum Computing Programmable Matter Optogenetics পেছনে ফিরে দেখা Fab-Lab, Neil Gershenfeld, Center for bits and atoms আর 3D Printer সম্পর্কে অনেক বছর আগে প্রথম জেনেছিলাম বিজ্ঞান সাময়িকীর দুটি আলাদা সংখ্যায় প্রফেসর ডঃ মুহম্মদ ইব্রাহিমের দুটি প্রচ্ছদ প্রতিবেদন পড়ে। তারপর Google করে বাকিটা জেনেছি। ভবিষ্যতের বিজ্ঞান আর প্রযুক্তি নিয়ে আমার সবসময়ই আগ্রহ। অনেক বছর আগে (২০০৬ এর দিকে) Future Science, Future Technology, Future Artificial Intelligence এসব নিয়ে Google করতে করতে চোখে পড়ে এসব বিষয় নিয়ে Ray Kurzweil এর লেখা। তখন প্রথম জানি Exponential Technologies সম্পর্কে। কম্পিউটার প্রযুক্তির Exponential অগ্রগতিই Physical Digital Integration এর মূল ভিত্তি।
