== Beginning == [2 minutes] I have a VISION! A world full of unique centers of community, Each center supporting individuals there to explore and do what they love; Each an inspirational source of true education Where anyone can learn what they need to live the lives they want to live; Each a hub of vibrant local economy; Each helping the other community centers to flourish. This is what the hackerspace movement is all about! And it's already starting, in a huge way. And how do I know? Because this is the world I live in 24/7, all day, all night, all year 'round! And I love it. And I hope you will too. In the past 63 months over 1,100 hackerspaces have popped up all over the planet, seemingly out of nowhere, including some seemingly unlikely places, with more popping up all the time. What is going on here? What's going on is that hackerspaces are providing two very deep universal needs, needs that have been way too scarce for way too long: Community, and creative expression. Our species evolved to survive by supporting each other in community. We need community -- it's in our DNA! One of the things we did in community through the eons was get together to make and share cool tools. And just because we can now buy anything we want doesn't mean that we don't have a deep inner need to create! We do! It's in our DNA! Hackerspaces provide this magical combination the need to create+community [right hand in air, left hand] and bring them together; [bring hands together] making dreams come alive!
