21A – Reading Reflection No. 2
A few interesting notes from the book!
During industrial revolution, people went to work in nasty factories, but population still doubled because people were congregating and services like hospitals and drinking water became increasingly more accessible.
The author built a company that sells non-military grade drones to civilians. He was able to do it by sourcing it in China and bringing the final product to the states. But unlike other companies, his has a rather unique structure in that those who want to work on it are rewarded based on a hierarchic pyramid that awards contributors based on their contribution. In the bottom of the pyramid lies a t shirt for a simple code written, but in the top you have stakes in the company as a reward.
Although he was already accomplished in his career beforehand, he does prove a beautiful point: in today's age, you can create any material thing you want if you have a vision. His started as he was trying to build cool toys out of Lego with his kids. He mentioned 3D printing often since he believes that it will be an every day resource for people in the future. He did not focus too much on 3D printing current challenges, though, which would have been nice.
