Some very interesting points about the nature of fandom and the creativity that can accompany it. Thanks to technology the consumers have so much more of an opportunity now to be heard by the producers of entertainment, or to even become producers themselves.

I've been very tempted to buy a 3-D printer already. You can get them for under $1000 now, and run off a plastic, physical model of anything you can shape in a computer. I really believe they'll be everywhere inside of 10 years, at which point the entire collectables industry is going to be wiped out.

I'm very much looking forward to aspects of it, but then I also make my living in fields that could be supplanted by amateurs given the right toolset.

"I made this half-pony, half-monkey monster to please you...
But I get the feeling maybe you don't like it?
What's with all the screaming?
You like monkeys...
You like ponies...
Maybe you don't like monsters so much?
Maybe I used too many monkeys?
Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?"
