This technology will be more damaging than buying our products from China.

It just strengthens the evolution of removing humans from manual manufacturing labor. Nice if you are a CEO of Toys R Us, but what about the other 99% of the working class?

It's bad enough that our economy is still struggling, and now with 3D printing coming, all industries will be jumping at it to save money ie: get rid of those pesky costly humans that used to do manual labor for us.

Technology should aid mankind to advance. This advancement will further destroy our fragile economy and destroy more jobs in the long run.

I'm not against progress. I think it's an amazing invention. But I wish the egg heads and CEO's would concentrate on the advancement of human beings, and not just on ways to increase their profit margins.

If human beings don't advance and prosper, who will buy all the crap spewing out of these 3D printers? Only the rich.
