RE: BINGO!!!!! STEEM In Action: This Is What Upvoting Does!!!!
It was such a heart-warming and exciting article. I read it yesterday and was just so excited for our friendly little mother of 6. This is very much just the beginning, potentially Steem could go as far as redistributing the population away from populated cities. It is very, very exciting!
I've had the exact same thought.
Imagine that. Reduced congestion, reasonable living costs.
I can picture people escaping entirely quite comfortably.
Houses without addresses, built for cash and not on any maps.
There is a lot going on @mattclarke technologically that I think is going to change a lot.
Not only are we starting to enter the time when we actually have appreciating currencies, but technological progress, i.e. what falls under the laws of IT, is expanding to the point where we will see downward pricing pressures.
One of the things you mentioned is housing...there will come a time when they will be 3D printed out...right now the homes are small and a bit costly but it will come down in time. A company over in Europe is delivering 100 3D printed homes to the states, cost between $64K and $128K....
This is just the beginning.
This is a little bit old now, but I was so excited to watch this... it's exactly what we need to solve our various homeless issues.
Decentralizing away from the cities has such a massive world impact. I've got from a situation where I was in the car an hour and a half each way (to travel 15 minutes away) to working from home. I'm much happier, food is less expensive, no carbon travel costs, etc etc. I use Google Hangouts and my phone a lot, but I honestly feel the world is better off if we mostly work from home.
I really want to spend the next 6 months getting my Steem account to a point where I can live off it.... and then my mission will be to get everyone else living off theirs.
Great video @auusieninja. I remember that when it came out and the company announced it. Since that time, there are a number of 3D printed structures (actually called contour manufacturing for anyone wanting to look it up).
I have the 3D printing technology being the tech of 2019...it is still a year away before they are at the point of explosion....kind of like blockchain was a year ago.
Great call.
I'm so fascinated by 3d printing... and by inexpensive housing.
It makes sense that 3D printing will explode.... people buy so many things... because having new things is super exciting... imagine how exciting it'll be for households to pretty much create most of the things they want.
3D printing is one of the major disruptive technologies out there.
When we look at what it is already filtering into, like the blockchain, this is going to really interrupt supply chains. Middlemen all over the place are going to be cut out.
Manufacturing will be localized since it will be just as inexpensive to print it down the road as it is to do it at a central location. Drugs will eventually be printed out. It is already in dentistry. Organs will be printed.
The entire industry is going to take manufacturing and set it on its ear.
Imagine going to your 'local food' tab, scrolling through posts from your favorite restaurants; upvoting the pork and cashew from Mr Changs and waiting for it to arrive.
No other payment necessary.
Yeah that will be nice.
Or when you are at home, want a new shirt, just download the cad file and the printer produces it in your den for pennies on the dollar.
I have a friend who's family paid off a huge power bill with steemit rewards. It's amazing what steemit can do! I'm very new to this all and I think when I upvote I give about a cent... But as you've been saying, it all adds up!
