[QUOTE="rhodesbe, post: 1848755, member: 2415"] Recapping the article, the future of american manufacturing hinges on: 1) robotics 2) smart computers 3) 3D printers I hate to be a killjoy, but that stuff isn't new to 'manufacturing' and has been kicked around as the stuff for redeeming a weak manufacturing base for decades. Manufacturing is machine tools, metalworking, and critical thinking. The US loses thousands of years of manufacturing know-how when retirees give it up and plants shut down. The guys that can do this stuff go to their graves without passing it on. People these days get liberal arts degrees rather than going to trade schools. An entire generation of coffee baristas with no real skills. That's what US manufacturers need to worry about, not China. [/QUOTE]
