Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Economically it's a disaster for everyone except the printing business. Some advances in technology are not good.

I don't understand why this is an economic problem.  It means the product will be made more efficiently.  That's good for the economy.  It could be bad for current manufacturing companies...but that's the way a free market works.  The telephone was disastrous for telegraph companies.  Air travel was a disaster for passenger oceananic shipping industry.  The internet (long term), isn't going to do the cable TV industry any favors.  Woolworth's destroyed the corner store, and WalMart destroyed Woolworth's.  That's what disruptive technologies and business models do...

From a gun control standpoint...yea, I have some concerns....

Efficency frees resources to be used for other things...that's the way a free market works....that's how our economy has grown so much. Can you imagine life without mechanized farming for example? We'd still have people picking cotton by hand and plowing fields by horse....and mining coal through completely dangerous strip mining....

There are no other things to use telegraphs or pony express companies for either. Or film camera's for that matter (thus why Kodak is in such financial trouble right now).  Should we really block innovation just so older companies don't go out of business? If we did that, we'd never get any of the new companies that contribute large amounts of money and jobs thanks to their innovations.

Seriously - Walmart innovated by having large rural stores. That was such a success woolworth's went down and Walmart became one of the biggest companies in the country. That's the way the market works...
