First Article: 3D Printer

3 things I learned that I didn't know before: 
1.) First of all, I had no idea that you could do something this advanced for so long. 25 years!? Really!? I'm just finding this out now. Very cool stuff!

2.) Learning that it might even be possible to print out something like a human organ is also very interesting. For them to be able to find out that they can do that is extremely helpful. It shows that the 3D Printer can also be used for not just fun and games but very serious stuff that can save someones life.

3.) Also, to know that it's going to be possible to have one of these things in your own home is freaking sweet! From the sounds of what you can do with this thing, I wonder if it's possible to print out Pokemon Cards (yes, I still collect those).

2 opinions about the article:
1.) Well, first of all, I really like the idea that you can do this kind of thing with the technology that we have and also that this 3D Printer happens to be so cheep. Which means that it could be possible for everyone to have one.

2.) One thing that I agree with completely with the article is that if this does get released to the public, people could start finding out how to make certain things with it that wouldn't exactly be in the best interest of everyone else, such as weapons or explosives. That would not be good!

One question about the article:
When is this thing getting released to the public?
