My parents had a software company making children's software for the Apple II+, Commodore 64 and Acorn computers. They hired these teenagers to program the software, and these guys were true hackers, trying to get more colors and sound and animation out of those computers.

I feel like I've lived a life of making mistakes and learning from them and doing my best to only make each mistake once.
Our intention is that people use MakerBots to have a positive impact on the world.
You can go from creating the design on your iPad to making the object on your MakerBot.
One of the criticisms we get is, 'Does the world need more plastic crap?' But you have to look beyond the plastic crap, to the design, to the experience, to the empowering nature of the MakerBot and the community.
