Welcome to the Future

Imagine a world in which you conjure up an idea of something you might like to build or have, and then, moments later, it exists. That reality is closer than you might think.

TechShop is the equivalent of a gym. You wouldn't (can't, most likely) buy all of those machines for your home, but you can pay a monthly fee and share in the expense with other members. Well TechShop is like that, but for your brain muscle. You have access to $1 million worth of production/design/engineering equipment for a $125 monthly fee.

Notice the lack of .com domain on this one. Those last few letters are of diminishing value these days. It's kind of like how no one knows what your cell phone number is. If they can find you, they don't need to remember it. And so go domain names...
