3D printing, like using a mobile phone for anything other than communicating, is one of those things that will only catch my interest begrudgingly, long after it's already mainstream. And even then, my interest will be motivated by an instinctive fear that the apocalypse will come, and the only thing that will separate survivors from zombie food will be the ability to use cutting-edge technology. You know, like the flashlight app I just discovered last week. Or hashtags, or planning my I-don't-even-have-a-boyfriend-but-I-love-fancy-parties wedding on Pinterest, or podcasts. Which I listen to on a second-generation iPod nano.
Sidenote: I just did some research (which is something I prefer to do AFTER writing an article, because I'm very avant-garde), and it turns out 3D printing can be used for a lot of fun things, not just guns that might backfire. Like creating your very own dinosaur skull to hang on your wall. Make it a dragon skull that really breathes fire, and I'm sold.
Maybe this means I should look into Vine. Probably I'll just focus on mastering my new Instagram app before it goes out of style, replaced by a younger, sexier site...like Vine. Shit.
I'm never going to survive the end of the world.
