Who knows what we will be able to print in the future? Maybe, say, our pets? Mommy, I want a rabbit, can I print one?

Imagine being able to stop breeding animals. We just print them until we get them the way we like them.

I think this dog looks "sorta fake" to me. But he is real enough, and doesn't come from a printer.

Here's looking like you, Tonik! Woof!

I didn't know people put cameras on their bicycles, but if this guy hadn't, we wouldn't have seen him hit a deer and crash.

Doh! That had to hurt (both rider and deer)... we just have bike versus person collisions here. There's this one steep, curvy part of the trail in particular which for some reason the cyclers like to speed down even though it's a shared path and one time one of them collided with Pat's dad. His arm was black and blue for months.

Aerogel has been around for a while.

That article is pretty bad at explaining what, exactly, was invented. Lighter aerogel?
