  • lesson of the wiiMote: a piece of technology that is not crippled, has amazing functionality and is cheap +  a community of developers means that we all can make Epic Shit if we want to

She argues that we are in a similar place to the pre-industrial time, where ‘ordinary folks’ are making things that help solve there own personal problems, or fulfill desires.
