Once all the kinks in this computerized cooking are worked out, your Fabber may become an essential kitchen appliance. And expectations for the device don't stop there.
一旦所有突發奇想都實現，電腦控制的烹飪系統被計算出來，那么Fabber將變成你廚房里不可或缺的家電。對這些設備的預期還遠遠沒有結束。
"This is a very universal type of technology that's applicable to a wide variety of things, and it is conceivable that you could print even large things such as cars or houses."
“這是一類很普遍的技術，適用于各式各樣的事物。可想而知，你能“打印”巨大的物體，例如汽車或者房子。”
While printing your own house seems like a stretch, your Fabber could download and print the latest must-haves for your home and eliminate the need for replacement parts. You will be your own factory and builder. And with the Fabber, you'll never again have to make that last-minute run to the home-improvement store.
“打印”房子，這聽起來似乎有點不真實，但Fabber會幫你“下載”并“打印”出房屋的必需品，并且一次到位不需要再更換材料重修。就像是你自己成立的工廠，而自己就是工廠工人。有了Fabber，你就再也不用花費精力奔向裝修市場。
You could imagine in the future where you shop online for items, and once you find what you want, you'll essentially purchase the blueprint and print the device you've purchased on your own desk at home.
可以想象在盛行網購的未來世界里，當你發現你想要的東西時，只要購買產品的藍圖，就能在自家桌面上打印出那個設備。
Futuristic homes, humanoid robots, superhuman powers all represent science fiction fantasies come to life.
未來的房屋，類人機器人，超能量都代表著科幻小說變成現實。
And those fantasies are not limited to earth. Your future home may actually have a lot fewer objects than today, that's because the objects you have will be infinitely more flexible. A chair will morph into a shears, or anything else you want, through a new technology known as claytronics.
這些幻想并不僅僅局限于地球。在你未來的家里，家具可能比現在少得多，那是因為家具會變得無限靈活。通過一項新的科技（即claytronics），一把椅子可能演變成一把大剪刀，或者其它你想要的事物。
Claytronics is essentially gonna create a new media type. Way back from the telephone, we've had audio which allowed us to send voice; and then we had video which allowed us to send voice and pictures. So, with claytronics, the idea is we can send not just sound and picture, but actually the 3-D shape itself.
Claytronics本質上是要創建一種新型的媒體。跟電話的原理一樣，有了音頻我們可以傳遞聲音；然后出現了視頻，讓我們可以傳遞聲音和圖片。因此claytronics的理念是不僅可以傳遞聲音和圖片，還能傳遞3D空間。
Seth Goldstein, a professor at Carnegie Mellon, is one of the developers of claytronics.
卡內基梅隆大學的教授塞斯•高德斯坦是claytronics的創始人之一。
