third industrial revolution The Third Industrial Revolution (TIR) economy allows millions of people to produce their own virtual information and energy, a new digital manufacturing revolution now opens up the possibility of following suit in the production of durable goods. In the new era, everyone can potentially be their own manufacturer as well as their own internet site and power company. Jeremy Rifkin

COMPETITION
RESHAPE15 Wearable Technology Competition BRIEF In the digital landscape a new reality has started to shine by itself: the ubiquitous computing. A concept that is burying the common idea of machine and completely altering the role computers play nowadays. In this computational narrative, the challenge is no longer to add a new digital object to our list of tools, but to dote faculty of processing data to our domestic elements. In this regard, and unlike the desktop computation, ubiquitous computing proposes natural and constant interaction between users and environment, extending its influence in all fields of human phenomena, even in the most domestic and primary one: our body.
