One of the most interesting speakers at the Websummit was AutoDesk CEO Carl Bass. AutoDesk is a multibillion software company that makes software for the architecture, engineering, construction and manufacturing industry. He talked about 3D printing for consumers and the industry.

The use 3D Printing in the industry

3D printing for the consumer is useful in education, for hobbyists and makers. But it’s way more useful in the industry. It’s easier and cheaper than ever before to make a prototype and experiment with designs. What is the future of manufacturing? How important is the 3D printer and will there be a moment that artificial intelligence designs products on its own?

GOP vs DNC Convention, Trump vs Hillary, fear vs progressive thinking

Last week I discussed the GOP Convention where fear and terror was the main topic. A big contrast with the convention of the Democrats. Great speakers like Michelle and Barack Obama delivered an optimistic progressive message and they clarified how much they distrust and fear Trump. Michelle Obama made clear that you can’t trust a man with the nuclear launch codes that’s so tempered and full of anger like Donald Trump. And Obama showed how much faith he has in the very experienced and passionate Hillary Clinton, who started this convention with a pretty big image problem.

Stephen Colbert at the Democratic National Convention

Last week Stephen Colbert visited the GOP Convention in his ‘Hungry for Power Games’, now it was time for the Democrats.

In his show a Hillary cartoon answered questions from the Republicans.

David Birch: 'Identitiy is the new money'

According to David Birch identity is the new money. Both identity and money are changing profoundly. Money will be easy to store, it won’t be the primary role of the bank anymore. The identity topic is more complex, you have many virtual identities and for every reason you need a different mechanism. David Birch has a complex but intriguing story at the Dutch Blochchain Conference. He delivers it in a provocative way with a lot of humor.

Identity Is the New Money

David Birch is the author of a fresh, original and fascinatingly wide-ranging short book about developments in the field, Identity Is the New Money. This is the best book on general issues around new forms of money, and new possibilities generated by blockchain technology.
