RustyLugNut — Insofar as manufacturing, first things aren't different, then they are.

Shining a laser on the undersurface of a vat of liquid enabled a 100x increase in print speeds. Large scale manufacturing facilities are laid out like a capacitor, with a materials side and a product side with printers en banque as electrolyte. Bad analogy.

Do you use CNC? I respect tools from Yankee Workshop hand-powered wood-working, to AvE's Youtube channel about fabri-cobbling on an old Bridgeport, to the make's $350 4x8ft CNC router. It will never be like Star Trek everywhere. Oh yeah, there will be flint knapping demos at the Oregon Country Fair again this year. There are more people knapping flint tools today than there were in antiquity. Because more people.

What's the d@mned rush? In a small fraction of that 1000 years we can engineer means of ameliorating the long tail of guardianship necessary after the energy has been used for any and all purposes. People run around like a headless chicken.
