Besides being utterly depressing, tech_ed's post generalizes and is disjointed. Libraries are not profit centers; the idea is to use collaborative funds (public) to fuel creativity and innovation. Makerbots fueled by volunteers are in the $1000 range - think of roughly 50 books at $20 each. I realize not everyone can afford this, but is the argument really "if everyone can't do it, then no one should"? Really?

I'm going to curl up in a fetal position now. Too depressed to breath after re-reading tech_ed's post.
