The document discusses how technology is enabling a "re-making revolution" where people are re-learning how to make things through rapid prototyping, 3D printing, and other technologies. It argues that this will break down industrial silos and redefine success. Manufacturing is being redefined as more of an open, digital process where people can learn new skills and explore new applications like smart products, robots, and the internet of things.
