Facebook Allows Greater Control to Users Over Past Posts

We all have some regrettable stuff on social media that we would rather not remember or show other people, because that's not who we are anymore. Maybe it was an angry rant that seems foolish now or a picture with a certain somebody you'd rather not keep.

Good news is, Facebook is releasing a new feature that can help you decode what parts of your past show up on your profile. With the new "manage activity" tool, users can archive or even delete old posts, even in larger quantities if they want.

We live in an age that is witness to what many are calling the Third Industrial Revolution. 3D printing, more professionally called additive manufacturing, moves us away from the Henry Ford era mass production line, and will bring us to a new reality of customizable, one-off production. Need a part for your washing machine? As it is now, you’d order from your repairman who gets it from a distributor, who got it shipped from China, where they mass- produced thousands of them at once, probably injection-molded from a very expensive mold. In the future, the beginning of which is already here now, you will simply 3D print the part right in your home, from a CAD file you downloaded. If you don’t have the right printer, just print it at your local fab (think Kinkos). 3D printers use a variety of very different types of additive manufacturing technologies, but they all share one core thing in common: they create a three dimensional object by building it layer by successive layer, until the entire object is complete. It’s much like printing in two dimensions on a sheet of paper, but with an added third dimension.

3D printing or Additive Manufacturing is the process of creating physical object from a 3D file through layering of specifics filament materials. 3D printing remains to be largely utilized in the manufacturing industry. From car parts, houses and shoes, the manufacturing industry is largely dependent on 3D printing because it is cost-effective.
