Marvin Minsky writing in 1968

I produce custom clothing for people from 3-D body scans. Its really hard to do, and stretches the capabilities of even 2006 computing hardware. Here is Marvin Minsky writing in the introduction to an issue of the Science Journal in 1968 -- a time when computing power was perhaps a billionth of what it is now.

Prepare for the machines that will end mechanization
The Industrial Revolution brought us inexpensive production of goods at the price of uniformity. Mass production meant that anyone could afford a suit of clothes -- provided his body conformed to one of the official shapes. Thus, and in many other ways, the economics of mass production radiated outwards from the factory into the rest of society. This era is about to end. The new machines will look at a man, watch him run and watch him rest, and design a proper suit for his shapes in his usual postures. For the machine that holds shears in its hand, there is no longer much economy in cutting to standards.
