14. a platform for open source design
really inclusive
not only for designers but for everyone
“DIY bio-labs where scientists and doctors
could access research and make their own
medicines”
“even a place you could go to for a new haircut”
15. (Seems it’s like the internet..
it become not only for engineers
and researchers.
It’s real infrastructure now.)
17. unless designers feel that their financial income and copyright
dues are guaranteed, they are not going to take the risk – and
without enough designers taking the risk, it will be virtually
impossible to erect the solid infrastructure to ensure smooth,
safe and legal operations.
18. “I don’t want to say that this idea could take over the entire
production world but it can certainly help craftspeople to make
things that are not standardized or mass produced. If a world-
wide network of craftspeople grows, then this could potentially
really change things.”
19. Another decade of discussion is needed before open source
design will ever be able to make a tangible difference.
Interestingly, the same arguments being used against the
phenomenon now are the very same arguments that were once
used against the introduction of democracy. The ruling elite will
always feel threatened by the idea of giving power to the
people.
