Imagine a traveler walking through Alexandria during early part of whenever Alexandria was famous.
The traveler's copy of any manuscript that they carried was confiscated and copied.
The original was kept in the Alexandria Library and the copy was given to the traveler.
What about the printing press? They didn't need it.
The 4 Vedas
Rig Veda - sings the praise of all the hindu gods
Yajur Veda - which documents and explains every ritual and function
Sama veda - Concerned more with musical hyms
Athervana veda - with yoga, ayurveda, black magic and aircraft building
All of these were well documented in palm leaves and also taught and transferred using listen/hear Guru- student traditions.
What about the printing press? We didn't need it.
The most printed book I believe is the Bible and the second is Euclid's The Elements . 13 books of Math including geometry and arithmetic.
I don't know how a real printing press works. I do know Gutenberg made a lot of money not by printing bible but by printing indulgences for the church(google and learn this money making scheme)
When we visited Fortworth's Department of Printing and Engraving I was amazed how they made 54 million dollar per hour (most of them with high school degrees!!)
The money we use comes from these printing press and there is only one factory in Massachusetts which makes the paper for the government.
Think. It is printing money . Every government uses advanced technology to press its money.It gets complex when one government starts printing another's (Think North Korea and USA)
Text Books are from the press . So is every single box label that you see.
T-Shirts too and Balls.
Look everywhere printing press in action.
Now let us turn to additive manufacturing. The process of building up things in 3 dimension.
Aptly named 3D printing this is the next printing that will change our lives.
Next thanks giving (not 2013 but 2014) you will be buying 3D printers for an absolutely low price . The patents are expiring by Feb 2014 for some of these printers.
You will get designs from open source or from market place. You will get the cartridges (from Amazon or Walmart). Printer,Cartridge and Design .
If everything you buy can be made in the cartridge .What will be made in china?
Ofcourse the 3D printer and the cartridge. China has invested heavily in making these machines.
From one printing (Printing press) which aided knowledge transfer we will move to the next printer (3D printer) that will make your imagination take a 3D shape and you can touch/feel in real life.
Welcome to your new world . Now in 3D.
