In an Open-Source Society, Innovating by the Seat of Our Pants by Joichi Ito, director of the M.I.T. Media Lab.
"The Internet isn’t really a technology. It’s a belief system, a philosophy about the effectiveness of decentralized, bottom-up innovation."

"Innovators are able to prototype a new product with 3-D printers and cheap laser cutters for nearly nothing. Even complex products can be manufactured with help from supply chain companies that are making their systems available online to anybody.

An explosion of grass-roots innovation in hardware is coming — freely designed and freely shared — as it did in software."
