Quickest Way to Kill 3D Printing - Get the Government InvolvedTony Cartalucci, Contributor Unfortunately, what many in the tech community seem not to realize, or have forgotten in their moment of presidential aggrandizing, is that Obama represents bi-partisan servitude to corporate-financier interests, the very interests that off-shored the planets most advanced and capable manufacturing base in human history in the first place. They also seem to have quickly forgotten that additionally, Obama represents the same big-business interests that hounded one of the tech communitys own,Aaron Swartz, literally to death in an intellectual property witch-hunt that allegedly drove Swartz to commit suicide. And surely, those who sell out to special interests as they attempt to wrap their tentacles around 3D printing, may just achieve fame and fortune but the promise of 3D printing will almost certainly suffer because of it. While it may seem exciting to have the US President mention you during the State of the Union address, it is in fact a warning sign that you have attracted the attention of the very interests that have destroyed this country in the first place, and have left it in need to be revitalized. Obamas mention of 3D printing is akin to the buzzing of a parasitic mosquitos wings before it lands, with its hungry, ever-searching proboscis preparing to bury itself inside its host and begin to feed. It is a warning, not a ray of light. It is a reaffirmation of the gravity this emerging technology holds and the responsibility that falls upon those in the tech community to protect it, keep it open, independent, free of the meddling of big-business and their political proxies, and instead, in the service of humanity.
