Article Summary and Bio:

In recent decades, the world has been rocked by revolutions in the=20
digitization of computation and communication. Now the physical world is=20
being digitized, thanks to new technologies that can turn data into things=
=20
and things into data. Digital fabrication will let people build custom home=

furniture, living organs out of cells, and drones that can =EF=AC=82y out o=
f a=20
printer; science fiction is becoming industrial fact.

NEIL GERSHENFELD is a Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of=20
Technology and the head of MIT=E2=80=99s Center for Bits and Atoms.
