http://www.fablab.nl/articles/2010/08/26/fab-stories-that-matter en-us 40 .. where the future is being made today ! <p>Every now and then I spend a day in a FabLab just to see what people are doing. What I notice is how all visitors tend to leave with a big smile on their face, after having used the capabilities of the FabLab. Somehow making things appeals to us all on an emotional level.</p> <p>During Fab6 I asked a few people to share one anecdote from their FabLab about something that caught their eye. I only recorded three of them. But I think the format worked, so I will try and start collecting some more stories from the FabTables we have every six weeks.</p> <p><b>How holding an object in your hand changes your idea</b> <object width="500" height="282" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" style="width:500px; height:282px;"><param name="movie" value="http://video.fabfolk.com/v.swf"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="token=a25eface790f4b4193413e45411a9b68&#38;photo%5fid=769976"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://video.fabfolk.com/v.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="282" FlashVars="token=a25eface790f4b4193413e45411a9b68&#38;photo%5fid=769976"></embed></object> <br/><br/> <b>For kids FabLab is the &#8216;new normal&#8217;</b> <object width="500" height="375" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" style="width:500px; height:375px;"><param name="movie" value="http://video.fabfolk.com/v.swf"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="token=f6a7653837484017278ee6dc490c7f59&#38;photo%5fid=766277"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://video.fabfolk.com/v.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="375" FlashVars="token=f6a7653837484017278ee6dc490c7f59&#38;photo%5fid=766277"></embed></object> <br/><br/> <b>Seeing a FabLab is getting curious about a FabLab</b> <object width="500" height="375" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" style="width:500px; height:375px;"><param name="movie" value="http://video.fabfolk.com/v.swf"></param><param name="FlashVars" value="token=0e14c2993c3d0fe83a3e211dde25e7e7&#38;photo%5fid=766282"></param><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://video.fabfolk.com/v.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="500" height="375" FlashVars="token=0e14c2993c3d0fe83a3e211dde25e7e7&#38;photo%5fid=766282"></embed></object></p> <p>(See all <a href="http://video.fabfolk.com/channel/762537/fab6">40+ videos about Fab6</a>)</p> Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:36:00 +0200 urn:uuid:8c83c951-9bcc-4849-a537-bc7c73b22e26 Ton Zijlstra http://www.fablab.nl/articles/2010/08/26/fab-stories-that-matter Fab6 english
