So a few weeks ago, a friend of mine gave this toy car to his 8-year-old son.
幾個星期前，我的一個朋友送了一輛玩具車給他8歲的兒子。
But instead of going into a store and buying one, like we do normally,
這樣的禮物我們通常都是去商場買，但他沒有，
he went to this website and he downloaded a file, and then he printed it on this printer.
而是從這個網站下載了一個文件，然后把這個玩具車，用這臺打印機給打印了出來。
So this idea that you can manufacture objects digitally using these machines
像這樣用電子設備創作東西的理念，
is something that The Economist magazine defined as the Third Industrial Revolution.
《經濟學人》雜志稱其為第三次工業革命。
Actually, I argue that there is another revolution going on,
但我認為現在我們還經歷著另一場革命，
and it's the one that has to do with open-source hardware and the maker's movement,
一場涉及開源硬件和創客的運動，
because the printer that my friend used to print the toy is actually open-source.
因為我的朋友使用的這臺打印機，實際上就是開源的。
So you go to the same website, you can download all the files that you need in order to make that printer:
任何人去這一網站都可以下載、制作這臺打印機所需要的各種文件：
the construction files, the hardware, the software, all the instruction is there.
施工文件、硬件、軟件，各種幫助都可以在網上找到。
And also this is part of a large community where there are thousands of people around the world
這是一個很大的在線社區，世界各地成千上萬的人都聚集在這里，
that are actually making these kinds of printers,
制作像這樣的打印機，
and there's a lot of innovation happening because it's all open-source.
創新時刻都在發生，因為一切都是開源的。
You don't need anybody's permission to create something great.
你不需要征求任何人的同意就可以制作很棒的東西。
And that space is like the personal computer in 1976, like the Apples with the other companies are fighting,
這種市場的問世，就像1976年個人電腦問世一樣，蘋果公司和其他電腦公司互相競爭，
and we will see in a few years, there will be the Apple of this kind of market come out.
幾年后我們也會看到這種市場中的蘋果公司出現。
