I find now that people are so busy that taking time to sit in a class or at a computer station to take some classes is only a preferred option when it is needed and no other alternative exists. Rather, people are capable and expecting things to be self-service and one-stop whenever possible. Even now, as I design a learning and performance model for a group that never had anything formal, I find myself gravitating to the self-service support concepts. Mike Harold,

So, in prototype the future is here already (as is the case in many areas ;-) Virginia .. somewhere on the web there’s a video clip of one of the people close to this applied research, speaking at a TED conference (2007, maybe 2006) … and if I remember correctly, the video clip includes a sequence of a 3D object being “printed” out.

He predicted that in 10 years, users would be able to design and input plans for furniture, consumer goods, etc...and they would be custom made by a machine. Think of the implication this will have for a workforce even in the manufacturing sector!
