Throwback Ted Talk from Neil Gershenfeld, director of MIT’s Center for Bits and Atoms - “A group of people like me who never understood the boundary between physical science and computer science” – discussing the creation of the Fab Lab, how giving people the tools for digital fabrication led to the proliferation of Fab Labs around the world, and the unforeseen innovation emerging from them. “We’re learning more from these Fab Labs than we’re giving them… There are now three students at MIT doing their theses on how to scale solutions of 8-year-old children because they had better designs. Real invention is happening in these labs.” “The message coming from the Fab Labs is that… the real opportunity is to harness the inventive power of the world to locally design and produce solutions to local problems.”
