Just the concept of 3D Technology is amazing, and now we are using it! Wow! 3D Technology is quickly advancing into all aspects of our daily lives. We can brainstorm, create, invent and produce almost anything we desire to. Think for example; shoes or even a curling iron made from plastic. This is a great tool for most any industry,however; it could also be detrimental to our world's economic growth because of job loss in the labor workforce. So we need to be careful in what we choose to utilize it for moving forward.
We have so many resources for 3D technology now from internet and guides to apps and even museums. The most awesome thing about this technology is it's capacity to grow and advance right along with us while it simultaneously teaches us! Using it to re-create parts of history such as religious artifacts to new ways of building non-corrosive buildings, bridges and more. It does take research and planning with lots of time to prepare an item for making it in 3D form, but it's also a more permanent product when it's completed. It provides insights that we previously wouldn't have had before from an educational standpoint at any level of learning. I value the opportunity to use it for growth within our society, and I believe as long as we don't cut corners it will remain a valuable tool for our future generations.
I agree with the use of 3D printing. Like you stated above; we need to be careful, because if these 3D printers advance enough, some people may be left without a job. 3D printing technology is advancing a lot! It can re-create certain objects that can be placed into museums. It will also help the education world, by offering more materials in class, and being able to learn about the new and rising technology!
ReplyDeleteYes this technology has ways in helping everyday life which make things much easier but I do agree with you on how it could take jobs away from people which is something it didn't think of until I read your article.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a great tool, however sometimes I wonder how much do we keep inventing to a point of elimination of jobs, which affect people which in turn affects the stability of our economy. It can create lack and laziness all the while being amazing and helping us to achieve great strides in technological advances and education. So I love it but it also scares me a bit!
