The Maker movement is an intersection between two already existing movements, Hacker movement(which focuses more on the software) and the DIY movement. This gives us creation of new devices and improvement of the old ones. The philosophy behind this movement is learning-through-doing or active learning. The motivation is to have fun and learn/make something new. Millions of people around the world have joined this movement, some already made an enormous contribution, others are patiently waiting for their turn to rise and shine.
I focused on 3D printing, mainly because it had a lot to do with designing something and than having it in a physical form. The perspective from which I look at it is, it is fun to design something, and it can be beneficial in terms of learning and in terms of usefulness of the item that you printed. I myself have a very little contribution to the Maker Movement, mainly because of me being not creative. The 3D printing is becoming more and more useful, at first it was printing out little objects just for the fun of it, now Doctors can print out a replacement for one's lung. In my opinion 3D printing is The Future, because in a few years (hopefully) everyone will have access to a 3D printer, and will be able to print out anything they want to. Just think of the possibilities. Here are some simple examples of what you can do with 3D printers.
