NASA | 3D Printed Food

NASA secures funding to start R&D...

The thought of what this technology could mean is mind blowing..."End of World Hunger perhaps?", the end of " FedEx?

What new marketing schemes are on the horizon?

  • Imagine mailing out an electric car to test drive...Will FedEx turn it's business model?
  • Imagine what the fast food industry thinks of this technology, assuming McDonald's owns the rights to the "Big Mac"...will they release the rights, so the world can enjoy a 3D Big Mac!
  • What else will this technology produce...Weapons, Houses, People and maybe Dreams?
  • What will Grocery Stores become?

NASA is approving this technology for the quest to go to Mars! Being able to print food on demand, will allow for storage, on these long trips, for things other than food.

Question: Will the Internet of the future be the same as it is now?
