No More Shopping ???

Shopping is widely expected to become completely superfluous. On Kickstarter, a 3D printer of clothing is currently offered for the Hausgebrach produced. T-shirt, skirts and caps are thus already produced seamlessly from a synthetic fiber.


This technology reduces the traditional textile manufacturing process to a single step. Instead of routing the numerous raw materials to factories where they go through several processing steps, the raw material is processed directly by consumers at home to finished goods. Thus the transportation also falls off as human labor power. The development is also a step toward customized, individual and wearable clothes out of the 3D printer.

Wonderful, right ??? Maybe, maybe not.


Let's see ... no more factories, and a reduced need for transport by human labor?


So if we will have no jobs in this wonderful future being rammed down our throats, how will people be able to buy the printer and the raw materials?


Inquiring minds want to know.
