The document discusses the maker movement and Arduino. It describes makers as 21st century inventors who combine new technologies, open source, and online collaboration to create new products or services. Makers use Arduino for applications like home automation, energy monitoring, robotics, industrial automation, medicine, art, 3D prototyping, and electronics prototyping. The document provides references for further information on topics like the long tail theory, prosumers, commons-based peer production, and maker spaces. It encourages the reader to think about what they want to create.
4. The long tail
"our culture and economy is increasingly shifting away from a focus on a
relatively small number of "hits" (mainstream products and markets) at the head
of the demand curve and toward a huge number of niches in the tail."

5. from CONSUMER to
PROSUMER
"Prosumer is a portmanteau formed by contracting either the word
professional or, less often, producer with the word consumer
[...] economists see the prosumer (producer–consumer) as having greater
independence from the mainstream economy"

6. DIY
Commons-based peer production
VS
market-based production
"It describes a new model of socio-economic production in which the creative
energy of large numbers of people is coordinated (usually with the aid of
the Internet) into large, meaningful projects mostly without traditional
hierarchical organization. These projects are often, but not always,
conceived without financial compensation for contributors."

10. MAKERS
"Il Maker è quella figura di inventore del ventunesimo secolo che combina le
nuove tecnologie, l’open source e la collaborazione online per creare nuovi
prodotti o servizi."
