The introduction of mass production two centuries ago reduced production costs so that everybody could afford the products. On the one hand, this made
society wealthy as now we can own many products. On the other hand, it was also a loss of individuality as we all own the same products.
Computer-controlled manufacturing makes it possible to produce individual products for the same costs as for stereotypes. Printing costs, for example, do not depend on whether
the printer prints different pages or always the same page. The problem, however, is that every product has to be individually designed, and we do not have enough
designers for all the customers in the world. Therefore we will need methods that enable customers to create their personal and individual designs.
