David Lang, something of a reluctant maker, is on a journey, intensively immersing himself in maker culture and learning as many DIY skills as he can, in part through a generous arrangement with our pals at TechShop. He’s regularly chronicling his efforts in this column — what he’s learning, who he’s meeting, and what hurdles he’s clearing (um… or not). –Gareth Photo Credit: West Seattle Tool Lending Library Throughout my Zero to Maker journey, I’ve prided myself on how much I’ve been able to accomplish without actually owning many of the tools I’ve needed.
As someone with a tight budget and an even smaller studio apartment, I’ve been pleasantly surprised at how much I can accomplish through collaborative outlets like TechShop and Noisebridge. While working on building a standing desk in my room, the cheap, electric drill I was using totally gave out on me. Tool Lending Libraries work just like book lending libraries, except they allow the temporary use of tools instead of books. Related. Files/2012/01/How-To-Start-a-Lending-Library.-Full-Packet.pdf.
Industry Trends/Data. Www.educationindustry.org/assets/documents/KnowledgeCenterDocs/2012 gsv education sector factbook.pdf. Collaborative Economy. I partnered with VentureBeat’s market intelligence arm (VB Profiles) to further develop data on the funding, valuation, and employment impacts to the growing Collaborative Economy, this post originally was posted on VentureBeat’s website written by John Koetsier of VB Insight, I’ve republished their content, to share the key findings and you can find a summary of the research here. Sharing is big business. Big big business. There are now 17 billion-dollar companies with 60,000 employees and $15 billion in funding in the sharing or collaborative economy, according to Jeremiah Owyang and VB Profiles, a market intelligence firm partly owned by VB.
That includes the venerable eBay, founded in the dim mists of technological antiquity, and relative newcomers Etsy, Chegg, WeWork, Airbnb, and — of course — Uber. Uber uber alles, right? While most of the startups are relatively recent — many became billion-dollar companies in less than four years — they have their roots in tough times, Owyang says. The rise of personal manufacturing. The rise of personal manufacturing raises some interesting questions. Will it be as disruptive to the manufacturing industry as the Internet has been to media companies? How is 3D printing is changing the industry and what impact is it having on entrepreneurs? With the costs of prototyping coming down, what does this mean for start-up companies who have a product to manufacture?
Will this lead to a wave of 'digital manufacturers'? The resources on this page provide some background to the event we held on 19 January 2011, and some places for further reading and viewing. Changing the world Cory Doctorow has written a great novel called 'Makers' that imagines a world where 3D printing creates a new bubble, and what happens to some of the inventors afterwards. A Wired article in early 2010, entitled 'Atoms are the new bits' described the new technologies as bringing a 'new industrial revolution'.

Maker Faire and the Growth of Do-It-Yourself.
Mark Frauenfelder, founder of BoingBoing.net, is a strong proponent of the DIY movement. Mark Frauenfelder noticed them everywhere he went: bleary-eyed souls peering up over their laptops and monitors, craving something more tactile than a keyboard, plus a measure of control over their surroundings. And then it began: They started making things, things that didn't necessarily have anything to do with 1s or 0s. From handcrafted furniture to bespoke clothing to homemade robots, the Maker Movement took hold in California's geek-heavy communities in the early 2000s and has since grown into an international phenomenon. We asked Frauenfelder, founder of BoingBoing.net and editor-in-chief of Make magazine, to weigh in on the impact and reach of DIY. Maker Faire--Mecca for makers--is a bellwether of the movement's growth.
