And I showed the same progression - from beautiful to ugly. Only I also related this to manufacturing, marketing to niche social groups, and internet-enabled customization as well as product design. And I had a definitive conclusion about what I was showing: the assertion that we were about to witness a coming reversal and that rapid manufacturing technologies would herald a "return to craft" and open a whole avenue for branding.</p> <p>I'm honestly not sure what Allan is saying in this presentation besides the fact he finds these things remarkable. That doesn't help me very much.</p> Interesting to me that Allan uses some of the same toaster images – probably from the same website – which I used in a corporate presentation back in 2000.
