I disagree with the premise that VR has faded off or whatever the author is implying. The technology just isn't here yet. So is the case with 3D printing. It's way too early to shoot down the idea so dismissively. What if we gave up on early computers just because they were large, clunky, inefficient and unreliable?

There really is no way to accurately predict where a technology still in its infancy will take us in a hundred years. I'm more interested in the concept of bringing the manufacturing process into the home, not in the specific ways we currently do it. Or in other words, look at the big picture.
