1. No I do not think this will be applied to 3D printing. How can they place a control on distribution when you are building and making parts from your own machine. 3D printing definitely isn't going to disappear. It has just begun and will only get larger.
2. I do not have a great idea but I do have a passion. My passion is Jeeps. I love working on Jeeps. Anything from putting on lift kits, doing custom modifications, and to even changing oil. My friends always joke and say once you get me on this topic I don't stop and that's the truth. It's really not a way to attract future mates because few girls are into the offroad/Jeep scene but you do meet a lot of people who share the same interest as you.
3. I do not agree with him. I think intellectual property will never die. When you design an item you may be redesigning an older product of it as said in the video but it is still something different. A redesigned product is not the same as the old product because someone has put their own thought into it and how to make it better. It is a good thing it is not ending. If intellectual property ends all new ideas of "remixed" items may not exist.

1. I do not think the goal is feasible. My reason being is that how many people are actually going to want to take the time to build one of these machines or how many people are going to want to set up this machine to print a part when they can go buy one. Some people, such as older folks, have a hard enough times using cell phones, imagine them trying to download a file from the internet to print a part they need.
2. I think the phrase means you can build anything you want and you don't have to be rich. Once you have this machine your limitations of building objects is almost endless. This is where the wealth comes in. Calling the objects all your "wealth" where you don't have to have "money" to operate it. The only item to have to keep purchasing is the plastic used to build the parts. Only problem you may have is when a part breaks on the machine and you do not have another machine available to make the part.
3. In the future I can see the RepRap machine being able to make designs quicker and put out items a lot faster than it can now. There may be also larger versions of the machine for larger scale objects.

1. Useful
Fry-Pod for Cup Holder with Locking Catsup Tray
How many times are you driving down the road trying to dig through the fast food bag to grab your french fries you just ordered at the drive through? This will make eating your french fries in the car a lot easier.
2. Artistic/Beautiful
I think it takes some serious artistic skill to make something like this. The design of it is just very unique.
3. Pointless/Useless
I would never buy a stand for my phone. What would be the point of it?
4. Funny
How can you look at this and not laugh? Chinese Throwing Spork.
5. Weird
If you have eggs sitting on stands I think that would make you very weird.
