Our future is going to be quite interesting I believe.
Perhaps even just a bit brighter.

(e.g. tell your kid about the hot bits, tell them why not to use it when nobody's home, etc.). Test of the pudding will be whether they've thought through how kids interact with things and how to make the software work for them rather than confuse them - the offshoot would probably would be of great benefit to us older kids too. tongue

I remember discovering my strong urge to build things aged about 7, rushing into the living room to tell my folks I'd designed (i.e. drawn) a car and now we needed to buy steel and build it please. I would have absolutely loved something like this. Given lego, meccanno and a train set were my favourite toys, I'm here and engineering trains for a living (and your efficient and safe freight haulage benefit tongue) as a result.

So why shouldn't children have their own 3D printers?

Maybe using this new formulated play-doh that hardens overnight. http://makezine.com/2014/02/18/hasbros- … -the-hype/
