正在發生的第三次工業革命 - third industrial revolution ?

Referred from article from 'The Economist', Mr Paul Markillie stated manufacturing sector is resuming to rich countries, and mentioned the "MQB" - a manufacturing strategy from Volkswagen Group. 

傳統的製造方式需要將許多零件組裝起來，現在可以直接在電腦上設計產品，再用立, 體印刷 ( 3D printer ) 把成品「印」出來, 而且可以生產傳統工廠無法製造的複雜產品.

供應鏈的地理亦會有所改變 - 工廠完全自動化 (沒有人) , 第三次工業革命 不但改變產品的製造方式，還會改變製造地點；勞工成本越來越不重要，企業將海外生產移回母國, 更接近消費者

There are not many affordable Italian resturant at Vancouver, BC. During the long weekend at May, I spent a short trip with family to Burlington, WA and enjoyed the sunshine at US instead. Shopping outlet is always women first priority, kids focused on toys. Me, the husband , playing the role as heavy-lifter and chauffeur, is always responsible for the bills ( the Hong Kong Standard ? ) After spending the whole day shopping at outlet, its dinner time. Olive Garden is one of my favorite - its clean and affordable ! surprisingly, the new Italian sampler collects small dish like Deep-Fried-Mushroom, crispy squid, spicy Pork Dumpling etc My mouth is still watering ...

 and here comes my dinner ,  just the pasta with asparagus - still affordable !
