  •  
    Hi all, This article is a nice follow-on to a discussion we had (I believe in section 2). Imagine the possibilities!

    http://www.economist.com/news/science-and-technology/21576626-additive-manufacturing-growing-apace-china-new-brick-great-wall The economist has been quite excited about this technology - however, it has rightly tempered expectations by saying for a consumer, the benefit, at best will be only marginal since this will only lessen the cost of the prototype/time taken to build one. I am still not that excited but I am not an industrial designer and neither is Jonathan Ive/Chris Bangle my name !

    This can change the way our traditional education works. It can be a good tool to increase creativity in school kids. The technology will evolve to make the design process really easy to use.

    There is a lot going on in the 3D Printing world. I have seen this documentary ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DconsfGsXyA ) that shows a different way on how this new technology is being used. Technologies are advancing and will trigger important discussions on regulation.

    Stefan great documentary. Scary. I can't believe this actually exists already. These guy's webpage is also interesting.It's incredible how they name themselves a non-profit organization that is defending civil liberty rights by building firearms. http://defdist.org/about-us/

    The firearms application is crazy, agreed. Plastic guns made through 3D printing technology are able to get through most airport security scanners. What I find the most interesting about 3D printing, however, is the application that this technology can have in the healthcare/biotech industries. Last year I remember hearing a very interesting article on NPR about how scientists are now using 3D printing technology to actually print human tissue such as veins are ligaments. I did a quick google search and found an article that actually has the audio linked at the bottom. I think everyone should check it out and let me know your thoughts about. http://www.rapidreadytech.com/2012/06/3d-printing-covered-on-npr/

    Good stuff - Isn't it a bigger challenge for impulse categories/FMCG to measure the RoI for social media spend than it is for more functional/"higher involvement" purchases like cars or for that matter "big skinny" ? Any thoughts, anyone ?
  •  
    I would agree that it is more difficult to track ROI on FMCG products social media campaigns but no more difficult than tracking the ROI of sales driven away from ecommerce. When there is a direct click through purchase, we are able to logically calculate an ROI but when you start trying to valuate how a campaign increases foot-traffic or brand equity, your ROI becomes more speculative.

    Hey, this was a great article. I captured some examples for future social media discussions. Did you notice the AMEX program featured?

    "Procter & Gamble Co. is now spending more than a third of its U.S. marketing budget on digital media, an aggressive shift as Americans for the first time are expected to spend more time online this year than watching television". Interesting how much money traditional companies are now investing in social media
