SXSW 2012 - Doing it Wrong: Recently Possible Technology

Doing it Wrong: Recently Possible Technology
Event	Interactive 2010
Format	Dual
Organizer	Bre Pettis – Makerbot industries
Description	Like ninjas battling on stage, Bre Pettis and Tal Chalzin will volley projects demonstrations back and forth. From guitar player robots to machines that vomit plastic skulls, the presentation will include a mix of projects they've worked on and that have been worked on at the GarageGeeks, NYCResistor and beyond. This presentation will both thrill and repulse you with the possibilities that have recently emerged in the diy hacker technology space.
Questions Answered	What is a hackerspace and why do I want to curl up into the fetal position? Why did the diy hardware movement steal all the good ideas from open source software? If a machine exists that can make anything I want, why isn't the singularity here? Is it really necessary to have blinking LEDs on every single DIY electronics project? If a machine can play guitar hero for me, which is more fun, playing the video game or watching the machine do it for me? Will laser tag ever come back? How big of a CNC machine do I need to join the revolution? What is the most important survival tool, second to a solder sucker of course? Flux capacitor is so 90’s, what’s out there that can do the trick? Let's say I have crafted a huge dove, how can I make it to automatically poop when ppl stand underneath it?
Level	Beginner
Category	Music 2.0, New Technology / Next Generation, Non-Profits, Open Source
