Some people argue we are facing a new industrial revolution for two main reasons: 1) the limitless open source movement which provides free software and resources for technological experimentation and innovation, allowing people to access information to build their own projects, and 2) the makers revolution brought about by new technologies like 3D printing that allow people to design and print objects digitally and to manufacture complex objects outside of traditional factories. This democratization of technology means that knowledge about how to make or "print" things is becoming part of mainstream culture, fueling a makers movement where people can freely share technological knowledge and ideas.
3. These websites contain free softwares for people to engage with a project. All of them showcase examples, innovatives ways of thinking and is completely free.
This is the concept of Open Source come to real. People can access this information and build their own experiments from it. . Is like a DIY website but with technology,
Solve for <x> on the other hand works as space to share ideas and
projects ocurring all around the globe. The format Is like TED.

5. Open Source means no patents, no Copyrights;
so free world-wide shared technological ideas.
Do It Yourself Technology.
Communities – Networks – Projects
Schools – NGO’s - Universities
7. Also, the revolution comes along a Manufacturing innovation that can change the world.
The Economist Magazine defines this moment as the 3rd Industrial Revolution:
Introducing 3D printers: ‘The old way of making things involved taking lots of parts and screwing or welding
them together.
Now a product can be designed on a computer and “printed” on a 3D printer, which creates a solid object by
building up successive layers of material. The digital design can be tweaked with a few mouse clicks. The 3D
printer can run unattended, and can make many things which are too complex for a traditional factory to
handle.
In time, these amazing machines may be able to make almost anything, anywhere—from your garage to an
African village.’

9. This is the first time that Technology is
understood in the same level as
decoration, gardening or other do-it-
yourself activities.
Knowledge about technology is
starting to be part of the cultural
mindset of people sharing a scenario
where you can access all the
information you need to make any
stuff you want.
Is a Makers Movement fuelled by the
constant flow and exchange of
technologic knowledge.
10. TECHNOL
Technological DIY Websites
Instead of going to the market, log in to any of this websites and learn and apply knowledge–softwares, codes-
that will help you to create and make any ideas you ever had. List of websites:
- Thingiverse: technologic community that creates and share technology designs
freely – so everyone has the tools and the knowledge to do some technological DIY.
- Make: technology on your time: MAKE unites, inspires, informs, and entertains a growing community
of resourceful people who undertake amazing projects in their backyards, basements, and garages. MAKE
celebrates your right to tweak, hack, and bend any technology to your will. The MAKE audience continues to be a
growing culture and community that believes in bettering ourselves, our environment, our educational system—our
entire world. This is much more than an audience, it's a worldwide movement that Make is leading—we call it the
Maker Movement.
- Instructables: Instructables is a web-based documentation platform where passionate people share what
they do and how they do it, and learn from and collaborate with others. The seeds of Instructables germinated at
the MIT Media Lab as the future founders of Squid Labs built places to share their projects and help others
- Solve for <X>: Is a different version of TED talks but in this case it has a much more defined subject;
technology and innovation.
- Inventables: They created this online store that streamlines the process of innovation and inspire everyone –
regardless of profession – to explore what’s possible.
- Adafruit: It was created to be a hotspot online for learning electronics and making designed products
for makers of all ages and skill levels.
11. Anyone is capable of become an amateur engineer, scientist or inventor.
