    Study Notes

    Makers and the Democratisation of Technology

    • The presentation explores the maker movement, examining its context, enablers, examples, disruptive technologies, and concluding remarks.
    • The maker movement encompasses a DIY approach, encompassing traditional crafts to cutting-edge technology.
    • Designs and ideas related to the movement are shared online.
    • Domestic-level access to the web, prevalent from the mid to late 1990s in the UK, enabled information exchange.
    • Web 2.0 technologies empowered relational connections through online social networks.
    • Sharing of media like music, videos, and daily thoughts rose dramatically.
    • The rise of mass-produced, inexpensive goods, especially from countries like China and India, influenced the market.
    • Karl Marx and Frederick Engels' concept of the proletariat is highlighted in the context.
    • Proletariat is defined as the class of wage labourers lacking their own means of production, compelled to sell their labour to survive.

    Context of the Maker Movement

    • The maker movement's context includes a DIY approach incorporating traditional crafts to cutting-edge technology.
    • Ideas are shared online.
    • UK web technologies, from the mid-to-late 1990s, enabled information exchange and connection.
    • Web 2.0 technologies led to online social networks and relational connections.
    • Sharing of music, videos, and daily thoughts increased significantly.
    • Production of inexpensive mass-manufactured goods from countries like China and India expanded the market.

    Examples of Enablers

    • Arduino: Open-source hardware microcontroller.
    • Web-based communities of practice (e.g., DIY Drones & UKHAS).
    • Make Magazine: A traditional magazine from O'Reilly Media.
    • Technology-based road to market (e.g., Etsy).

    Disruptive Technologies

    • Crowdsourcing/crowdfunding: Peer-to-peer finance, micro-investment.
    • Kickstarter: Example of a crowdfunding platform with over $6,838,584,763* pledged to projects (as of September 2022).
    • Personal fabrication: 3D printers & scanners (e.g., RepRap - open-source, Shapeways - commercial, Thingiverse - shared content).

    Fabrication

    • Two main approaches to 3D printing: Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) or Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and Resin Printing (Stereolithography).
    • There are also alternative methods like Polymer Powder Sintering.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of 3D Printing

    • Advantages: Customisation, rapid prototyping, complex shapes and structures, in-situ/tool-less production, sustainability/environmental friendliness, efficiency, new business models
    • Disadvantages: Limited materials, safety concerns (especially with plastics and food),intellectual property issues, 3D design software complexity, printer costs, speed, unchecked production issues,energy requirements, warehousing/storage needs, ethical issues and employment impacts.

    Criticisms of the Maker Movement

    • The maker movement has faced criticism regarding gender and race inclusivity, as well as democratisation.
    • Examples include Make founder Dale Dougherty's public criticism of Naomi Wu (2017) and his subsequent apology.

    Conclusion

    • The past ten years have focused on discovering new ways to create, invent, and collaborate online.
    • The next ten years will focus on applying these lessons to the real world.
