A SNAP INTO THE (NEAR) FUTURE WHEN INDUSTRY MEETS EVERYDAY LIFE
Journal Title: TEHNOMUS - Year 2012, Vol 19, Issue 1
Abstract
Camões the Portuguese poet wrote, back in the XV century, «Todo o mundo é composto de mudança, buscando sempre novas qualidades». And it is still looking for new ‘qualities’. Back in the XV century, Guttenberg invented the press. This remained the main information and knowledge diffusion system for nearly six centuries. It was until the end of the XX century that a concurrent system tackles this place. Beyond the computer was the personal computer that triggered the change. In this paper we will try to gasp a snap of the future to understand what could change with the advent of the low cost 3D (scanner and printer).
