Did you see the need for a tablet prior to 2009? Were you a fan of smart phones or even see the need for smart phones prior to 2005-2007? Internet prior to the mid 90's? Computer prior to the 80's?

Translating computer world to physical world isn't as easy. Even today in manufacturing, materials are not all made from the same stock. Even plastics vary by many factors. I don't think a single 3d machine can replicate those variables which means you need multiple stocks. And then you have to piece everything together. Manufacturers have assembly lines with little Asian women with small skilled fingers putting these things together. I just don't see it happening.

For me 3D printing doesn't hold out the same level of benefits for me personally. Would I print out plastic forks and spoons? Or make plastic furniture? I don't think so.
