Following Local Motors tweet, commenting next month’s Wired magazine cover story, the New Industrial Revolution Issue:

On the cover, Wired magazine editor Chris Anderson puts: “The factory, the investors, the workers – obsolete. In the age of DIY manufacturing, all you need is a garage and a great idea.”

Even dough I also (and sometimes naively) think so, I have heard the opposite many times.

All I know is that this new industrial revolution has in deed already started. New forms of value creation have already been proven to spark new kind of enterprises and products, just look at Linux, Arduino and Threadless. And Letsevo is on this wave, trying to figure out how product design innovation will thrive in this new wiki-reality.

Among the open questions are:

• Is the world going to get any better with DIY manufacturing and garage entrepreneurs building up their ideas?
• And what are the skills needed to put these ideas in practice?
• How are Universities going to adapt to this new industrial scenario?
• who is joining in with us?

I would love to get some thoughts on this and can not wait to grab this issue.
