Wired News: Ghana Gets a Fab Lab: "CBA director Neil Gershenfeld said that over time the components of the labs will themselves be replaced with new components made in the labs, until eventually the Fab Labs are totally self-reproducing. The technology isn't there yet, but Fab Lab staffers believe that within a decade or two this could be feasible.
Lassiter said a future goal for Fab Labs is to use open-source hardware. That would enable staffers to make their own machines that work better for lab purposes. Currently, the labs use open-source software across the board, from the Linux operating system to all the applications used for 3-D design tools, circuit design tools, math tools, graphics tools and other equipment."
