Thats been my prediction in Akron since about 3 months into SYNHAK. TinyCircuits' creation only amplified that. Back in Ye Olden Days, if you were down on your luck and wanted a secure job, you got into farming. Today, people get into micro manufacturing. Anyone can build a 3D printer and start churning out custom pieces and parts. Anyone can build a small CNC mill and produce high quality circuit boards, then populate it with chips, and produce a full product in short time. Putting aside the moral quandries about the industrialization and globalization of farming, GMOs, and other hot topics, I would argue that food production is a largely solved problem compared to custom manufacturing. Its that kind of stuff that will drive the revitalization of Akron as a major manufacturing center in the area. Next 40 years? Try next 40 months. > > I my prediction (as fantastical it is) is true..
