Well, I hope you all are right...
I know when an invention is made that streamlines the task, people lose their jobs.
But my problem is this:
When a new invention is created, it usually effects that one specific task or job that the new invention was designed for. But with this 3D printer, once perfected, it crosses all lines of production and doesn't have any boundaries. This invention is so powerful, that when they make larger ones (already in progress), it will make cars, parts, toys, furniture, electronics, organs, food, and one day, prefab homes. No limits. That is the danger. In 20 years we will start to feel the effects. This is a new and profound invention that will change everything.
It will remove more jobs than it creates. I believe it will have a very serious negative effect on the working man and the economy because it crosses all lines. This is so much more than a "cotton gin" or a "microwave oven" that effects only small subset niche of a small application. This is brand new technology the world has never used before.
Machines making toys for people with no money to buy them.
