Disruptive science.

There is Science, there is Science Fiction and there is Fiction science, and than there is disruptive science.

Kaku San (don't ask me how is this sound in Romanian culture, you don't wanna know ) each time our civilization had a boom was because disruptive science (not intentionally, pun intended) has put on the plate something that caught the minds of everybody in short time.

Automobiles, industry, aviation, mass production, each kaboom-ed in folks heads, and hence we have the world we have, space flight kaboom-ed in a few peoples head, hence Sci-Fi, but the others are more fascinated about it than interested to do it, hence no kaboom there.

Thus we are grounded, no business sense solutions there yet.

Aaaa... that was the introduction, now the example:
Computers Kaboom, big time in short time, now we have computers in our pocket that have a telephone app in them, yerp, they art not telephones anymore, but have a phone app to keep that side of business alive.

Now the question:
What is the next kaboom, really, no SF with going to Mars to find some more water.

My hint is 3D printers is that new Kaboom, already rep-rap printers can be afforded by a third world dude that has a steady job, saving 2 years they can buy it, me I have to save one week only, but I live in UK.

There are 3D printers for other materials (SLT) that cost little, and there are 3D printers that can print with metals or ceramics but they cost an eye and a kidney for now, however previously they cost an army of kidneys each, and that's a huge discount we have, I could buy one with my 3 years of salary, like a Porsche.

My vision is that in 20 years from now everybody will have 3D printers in their house, printing various materials, even large size printers (I designed one that can print a whole car-boat-experimental airplane sizes of components) and they can be used to print with iron, steel, titanium, plastic, carbon fiber, cement, ceramics, meat, leather or hell knows what else we might be able to invent as printing ink.

That would lead to huge transformations in society, many manufacturing places will vanish, people will print their own shit home, from downloaded files or their own drawings, be it ordered bespoke or DIY like I do.

Manufacturing will plunge to either raw materials for printers (they can print themselves out for 95% to self repair) or critical components for them, or manufacturing of not printable things, and that will change the face of earth and society at least as much as the industrial revolution did a couple of hundreds of years ago, it will just not happen in 100 years time frame, but far faster. Now that is something I would like to talk to you about, and why hell not, even do something about it to make it happen.

To get in touch with me, I don't think you need any indications.
