yes sir good morning thank you all for
joining me in a discussion about
innovation that is happening right here
in China we're investing with you the
developer community we have been
investing in open source solutions
because we know that when there are
standards and when there are open source
offerings that the pace of technology
innovation and the pace of technology
adoption accelerating I think for the
past hundred years the Industrial
Revolution put us into more cages
consumerism has cubed a lot of
creativity better for the
post-industrial generation they should
have more freedom to create to explore
to invent I think to make a movement we
are bringing that back so we're here
with the MakerBot cupcake C&C which is a
3d printer you can build things like
Thom Yorke's head because he actually
open sourced the data that was filmed
for a video of his now what's also
interesting about this whole scenario is
that there's a whole thriving community
of users who are taking these to build
all kinds of different objects they're
sharing the objects online and
additionally they're sharing information
on how to build and improve upon the
design everything is completely open
sourced the software's open-source the
hardware is open-source I just can't
wait to see what people come up with
I think the recent emerging of the maker
movement pretty much started around 2003
2004 in the u.s. laser cutting and 3d
printing is helping people to be able to
build up energy beautiful flower
rather than just having business purpose
right on earth at times guy named Dale
Dougherty he was thinking about starting
a publication called make before make
came out the only word we had was a
hacker right and I think he didn't want
to call them are using hack because it
had a really negative connotation at the
time and make was sort of the thing you
would type to compile a program so it
would resonate well with programmers and
maker was like Sir the demonym of people
who would read the magazine that's sort
of coined the turn maker I think in
crema publication he sort of solidified
the movement in the Maker Faire created
that phenomenon
[Music]
in China in beginning nobody knows bar
makers do bar cared about maker but
because we're gonna make fierce in
Europe in the area where circulars so
instead of woody for some want to do it
we say why don't we do it when they told
me they were gonna bring the first maker
fair here I was like how do you have a
maker fair in a area where people don't
make for a recreational thing they do it
for a job right you know cuz making in
the West is something that you're using
to remind people who are in service
economies that there's a thing called
manufacturing right when you have a
manufacturing economy
you wanna remind them of this
manufacturing that seems weird and what
I realized is that actually China's
middle classes aside the entire United
States population so even if a small
section Chinese people had risen to the
upper middle class it's big enough to
create a movement in China itself
compared to the United States kid making
we don't know it's going to be
successful or not the first year we have
over 60 makers and NASA we have over 200
makers it's a huge number some
interesting phenomena are also emerging
out of this in the past years what's
happening is the open source hardware
movement traditionally the second
poorest coast and proprietary you need
to have a contract and not discover and
a huge sum of prepayment in order to get
access but with open source how
everybody can access to that information
and everybody can modify that to suit
their new people here they create a
circuit board and the just under
expectation it is going to be open it's
going to be copy and evolved by someone
else there's no one running around in
Shenzhen say okay well I should be
credited for creating this if someone
else can make this get someone else to
use it
marianna better not having the ego
attached to a creations and understand
how actually open-source system works
the maker movement is at that junctures
I'm getting a little sick of hearing
about the same people on TV over and
over and over again so I decided to do
something about it
this Arduino project which I called the
enough already will mute the TV anytime
any of these overexposed personalities
is mentioned to mute the TV I'm gonna
use an IR LED now any time a keyword is
mentioned the TV will mute for 30
seconds our producers caught up with Kim
Kardashian earlier today it should do a
pretty good job of protecting our ears
from having to hear about the details of
Kim Kardashian's wedding after we know
is becoming the trigger point because it
has too many minions of makers are using
that
politely trying to make enough robot arm
for their people have puppies and
diseases we would like this just stable
if we come to Shenzhen like 10 years ago
20 years ago it would be very difficult
for our maker to tap into the resources
but now you have so many resources it's
in the middle of our reforming so the
big company especially the silicon
providers like Intel like a male like
TI's you look at that up we have new
customers we have new possibility for
new future applications of where our
technologies so they mix their own
controller board like Edison a Curie so
they want to tap into the early stage of
the development of the applications this
port is based on the Intel technology so
it's tiny dual-core computer system it
has two Wi-Fi Bluetooth and is also it
around a Linux operating system on it
you do not need to write any boring code
right in a smart node you can just drag
and drop and the link them together we
have tried to introduce it to 9 years
old this thing is a little bit difficult
but is acceptable what they're doing is
they're learning how to code on a
computer translate that into hardware
and they'll build a project on our laser
cutter or a 3d printer for something to
accept a stimulus light motion or sound
and then output some result last year
one kid built a key reminder for his mom
so that when she left the house a motion
sensor would pick up her movement and
say hey don't forget the cue and it's
kind of funny to hear that a
eight-year-old will know whether he
wants to be doing mechanical circuits
mechanical objects connected with
circuits or just a purely software
experience so that's in Toledo and then
we've give them more systematic
introduction how to view times excuse
off you go you can't use the mixer space
to create whatever you want you
genius you are young inventors I've seen
some great examples of open-source
hardware being used to actually make a
difference in creative a better world
and the difficulty is monetizing that
because I do believe that business
solves a lot of the world's problems and
people need to be able to make money so
if you're providing value to the world
which is making a lot a better place
then there should be compensation for
that so as long as your open-source
model can work to be monetized in some
way then I do believe that it is a
really good way to very quickly get
better and better better products the
question is how do you monetize it
in 2010 I started the first makerspace
in China cost intogen I can't invite a
lot to give a talk about open source our
the first question always come up on
people's mind is well how do you protect
your intellectual property and how can
you make money if you don't protect your
intellectual property I got that
question in Shanghai I got a question in
Beijing I got that question
everywhere I go but when I keep the same
talking Center the reaction I card is so
what's new about this we've been making
money on this for 20 years
[Music]
she got Yvonne Chaka Fattah de un Suzi
ochi Santa Teresa movie you know Arlo
general Papa Roach and enjoyed by others
who I said up
[Music]
the reason we're here in in much fun pay
is literally because of the Optronics
markets you know it's a fantastic
resource of all different possible
components and different devices which
can kind of be Frankenstein together to
make prototypes both teams it's a source
of inspiration it's a source of
discovery of new products that could
potentially be taken to the west like I
see every month for different invention
down there but nine times out of ten
they're probably not going to make it to
the west but some of them do Jewish and
I've been heartened by the 20 more
up Trinity K to be young like okay so DJ
okay so Jay crunch I'm Tina
she got a woman she told even family doc
how do don't wonder you mouthwash I mean
I don't need that for the show how again
till shows using Italy - how many does
in had quality of the pie so I want to
see what's even upstream of what the
what's gonna hit the tacky United States
you can get a little bit of feel here
you see a couple things popping up here
they're a little shop well right no well
pop out no we're selling these things in
heard of before like the hoverboards
were here a couple years before they hit
the United States and then you
eventually sort of see them hit the
states and other countries chiles you ha
jung-bae because other people chile
don't you go you other songs right here
Joe third comments all the thoughts
these treasures 2003 see now I said that
I don't see to show you guys show you a
sunny you see Santi Georgie occur now at
the hotel you should Santi show water
yeah there's a number of different ways
to sort of look at the market for an
engineer you're sort of limited it's
thumbing through catalogs and looking at
pictures and very slowly going through
specification sheets and and waiting a
day for stuff to come and for examples
if you want to put a switch in a product
you want to know how it feels you want
to kind of know the exact size and the
little mounting some of fussy bits and
it can take a long time to find exactly
the right part you come here and there
like stalls with like like a thousand
switches in it like hundreds of
different types and you can just reach
in and just touch them and play with
them and can like what stall by stall by
Stalin's and
all the different variety it's a huge
Bazaar essentially if components all of
them are sort of immediately here right
now and it's not there no it's not just
a showroom if once you find this which
you like and be like hi like to buy a
thousand of them and then for a very low
price you can just over-the-counter buy
it carry it off and you know go into
production it's got a huge amount of
acquired knowledge and skills there's
electrical engineers there who you know
solder up 50 PCBs for you in record time
or you can go together you can go down
there and piece together different
components to make a new mobile phone
there's nowhere else in the world you
can do that the interesting thing about
the components that you get there is you
know that often stripped out of other
products that have been created and so
you know you can get like a chipset that
was in a notebook for example you know
just less than $15 which can enable
computing power inside a new product
that's you know a fantastic resource for
some of the some of the startups but
then also that kind of philosophy is
kind of spread out all around China
you can't fix your fault here I've got
the Talmud you go to one with a pay your

come along it is my registry at home Joe
you're serious it actually chopped off
the whole Hollywood cycle deep what is
your hula ho - will you buy the kite
uncle CAI to make us appear so in a
comedy shows if you can just shuffle
shuffle either tomato motion when we
starting to look at the maker come into
Center and when they starting to write
about this and then experience that's
this excitement and how open this system
is like nowhere else
you can buy all sort of stuff everything
is available embodied and that part of
the openness become in the attractions
bringing more people making ours
descends it finding on the West as soon
as they're starting to turn into a
business they fall into the old models
of the everything proprietary keeping it
secret and there's a binary distinction
between the makers and the Howard
startup in the West the maker you do
this for fun utilities for your passions
but when you're starting to make this
into a business you should forget about
sharing you should forget about all this
open stuff and focusing on the business
George King was a logo Churchill III saw
that our total agenda Nimoy younger
no no commander when zoo - yerevan
camellia he thought about you anymore
young the Turcan Connell the iPhone had
my own that allowed this year please in
your opinions and the cocoa to you
mañana
parasitology dark chocolate anymore
yonder I've also
the channels are you can either jungle
jellies young man in here
that's very little differentiations
between i want to make this for fun and
i want to make this for profit
there's no binary division of the my set
of makers versus startup maker and a
start-up in china it's a continuum
you shouldn't been stopped from making
money out of the thing you love to do
and you should not be forced to choose
between open and proprietary just
because you want to become a business
right now it's just in the west we
haven't seen open source powers is there
word yet they just sort of like oh the
schematics are in the desc
I will completely help myself to them
make a photocopy and then leave the
factory with it right you know was that
stealing or the open source right in in
the West it's called theft right out
here it's called sharing I don't think
that the West's fully understands it yet
the notion of kind of just moving faster
than your competitors rather than
fighting over IP I think is something
that will become more and more relevant
