Neil Gershenfeld and the spread of FabLabs

MIT News stelde deze week drie vragen aan Gershenfeld.

‘Ten years after launching Fab Lab, the project’s founder describes the program’s research, global impact’.

Bevat een compacte samenvatting van Neil’s gedachten. Plus een link naar zijn TED talk.

‘MIT can fit a few thousand people, out of a planet of a few billion. Wherever we open a Fab Lab, we’ve found that it attracts exactly the same profile of bright, inventive people.
The intersection of digital computing and communications with digital fabrication makes it possible to effectively bring the campus to them, thereby accessing more of the planet’s brainpower.’
