If a country wants to remain economically vibrant, it needs to
manufacture things. In recent years, however, many nations have
become obsessed with making money out of selling services, leaving
the real business of manufacturing to others. Makers is about how
all that is being reversed. Over the past ten years, the internet
has democratised publishing, broadcasting and communications,
leading to a massive increase in the range of participation in
everything digital - the world of bits. Now the same is happening
to manufacturing - the world of things. Chris Anderson, bestselling
author of The Long Tail, explains how this is happening: how such
technologies as 3D printing and electronics assembly are becoming
available to everybody, and how people are building successful
businesses as a result. Whereas once every aspiring entrepreneur
needed the support of a major manufacturer, now anybody with a
smart idea and a little expertise can make their ideas a reality.
Just as Google, Facebook and others have created highly successful
companies in the virtual world, so these new inventors and
manufacturers are assuming positions of ever greater importance in
the real world. The next industrial revolution is on its way.
