Evolution Of Technology (Week 9)

-

 The race to make 3-D printing technology available to the general public. The battle between huge corporations and tiny businesses is genuine, and it's simple for giant corporations to squash new inventions like MakerBot or Formlabs. However, despite the tough competition, these firms were able to succeed because to their innovative ideas, engineering, and perseverance. This has to be the finest documentary I've seen in class thus far.

MakerBot, which began as a tiny business, has risen to tremendous heights. They sought to maintain their data open-source so there would be no barriers to creativity, but as they grew, they switched to closed source, and the company's basis had shifted.

Everything has a positive and bad side, and 3D printers are no exception. People were shown utilising it to build firearms and prosthetics in the programme.



Formlabs introduced a new approach of 3D printing using lasers, resulting in a more precise and high-quality end product. Their path from launching a Kickstarter campaign to receiving a large number of orders to ultimately being able to ship the items, despite several issues such as months of delays and a change in administration, was an inspirational one to follow.

We don't have to recall anything anymore, and the main reason for this is written language. Life has been easier, and men and women have become lazier as a result of written language. The author jots down his ideas. When the reader does the opposite while reading these written down ideas, the interpretation changes; it is no longer the truth; it is the truth as perceived by the reader, which may or may not be the same as what the author meant. When this interpretation is passed down from one person to the next, the eventual product will be far from accurate. Plato considers song to be "a po

  ‘ In Which Annie Gives It Those Ones ’ by Arundhati Roy on YouTube Even in an architectural institution where students are supposed to be creative, think differently, and explore, the video demonstrated how closed minded the lecturers were. A few situations also demonstrated how stereotypes about women persist. Students from various origins and attitudes are seen battling and forming friendships. The sorts of pupils seen in the film, as well as the pressure and enthusiasm of students to learn what occurred in their friends' reviews and what may happen in their own, had a lot of parallels.
