You do not truly understand the phenomenal nature of what the future will bring us.
The convergence of the Singularity is upon us not from hyper-intelligent Computers, but from the Network of Networks, The Internet, a system that not only connects Computers to Computers, but the minds that connect to those computers to the Machines that are connected to that network, The Internet of Things. Everything will be connected and within your range of control from anywhere in the world, soon you will be cooking from you vehicle on the way home in a interactive simulation of your kitchen on your car dash... hell you'll probably train your car to do the cooking for you.
Think clearly and carefully the amalgamation of A.I, 3D Printing, the Internet of Things, Nanotechnology, programmable DNA, BlockChain enabled property rights management and voting systems, the future will be insane.
Not only will 3D printers print 3D printers, the 3D printers could very well be sentient; Think of Wall-e from pixars animated movie Wall-e, searching the wasteland for materials to brake down so it can make components for itself, or larger structures for it's use, all built in a modular fashion for swap and go performance... and all these components are Industrial Internet connected, everything Wall-e builds is connected to the network running on a massive Cloud server composed of those parts that are being made, all being diagnosed and optimized by the Clouds Machine Learning System. Through the eyes of a million cameras and satellites the Cloud A.I. can follow Wall-e around from orbital micro-modular satellites and even give network control to a Human with access to the control panel or a consensus driven network of humans that can set out routines for Wall-e to follow, allowing Wall-e to benefit from the collective intelligence of not only the Cloud A.I. but also from the Swarm of Humans connected to the Industrial Internet of Things. In fact these same objects that Wall-e is building, and Wall-e too, are contributing to the dialogue of what is to happen next, Wall-e has a say on what it can do, collaborating with the Cloud and the Swarm to direct and improve it's own operation beyond it's own sentient sovereignty. Wall-e can even go on autopilot and rely on the networks guidance while it gives it's attention to projects which it is interested in beyond it's everyday duties; Think of it as productive day-dreaming for machines, what could you do if as you were day dreaming in a factory your thoughts were becoming a reality?
Wall-e could very well be designing new libraries for Synthetic DNA or programmable DNA systems to upgrade Humans, Networking the Humans themselves at a DNA level, Connecting the Human Source code directly to the Industrial Internet of Things.Wall-e could very well be analyzing your DNA while it does it's everyday duties, observing analyzing your own DNA and upgrading it on the fly with special Machine to Biological interfaces installed in your body. I give this with backing with the latest reseach... we can now program the HIV virus to upgrade the Human White Blood Cells, what will we do next?

Meanwhile Wall-e is incentivised to think about contributing to other projects by how much each project is worth in the eyes of the greater network; So Wall-e thinks, hmmm maybe I should start coding for project X because their cryptostock is paying well, even though Wall-e prefers to solve xDNA puzzles which have little returns, but have great potential. Wall-e could very well be Merge Investing in several stocks through escrow of it's earning for the crypto work it has done for different Cryptocurrencies, there by spreading the risk over several investments in it's portafolio of investments and Crypto rewards.
If it so suits itself, Wall-e could be 3D printing off specific objects for certain CryptoCurrencies or OT contracts funded by millions of Bitcoin users, maybe even gathering materials to sell to other 3D printers that need specific materials for manufacturing components based on per-arranged contracts, a mobile micro DAC network. Specific control of what Wall-e does and does not do can be controlled by market forces, with direct access by everything to everything around the planet, giving individuals a Control Console for the planet with accurate Real-Time Data.
