3D Digital Converter
This one is showing its age. With the advent of 3D printers, you could re-make at least some of the physical things you stored digitally on a computer.
And just in time for Christmas, a cute little baby wombat:

Make sure that if you invent a shrink ray device that you already have the unshrink ray made before experimenting!
Yes, well, sometimes the cart gets ahead of the horse.
Honey I shrunk the power tools!!!
Every man’s worst nightmare.
And now I can drill very very very small holes
Which no one can see.
Dave , I was suppose to be first !
You will have to beg him for some of his chocolate trophy.
Since getting back to Germany it has been easier to comment earlier. 🙂
The further east you go, the better advantage you have. You should maybe go to India or Japan.
Or in Germany the Fuhrer east you go…
Oh I forgot the rule, Don’t mention the war.
Hopefully that is all behind us now.
I thought loon lived down under. That’s pretty far east.
She does, and it is. Though I guess you could live in Samoa.
Psst …. Hint ….3D printer …. You’re welcome 🙂
If only they could print multiple materials simultaneously.
Need the 3D printer too
One that printed organic matter would be ideal. Then you could store your family on a hard drive.
I’ll take the 3D printer too!
I definitely need one of those.
Okay, I want a wombat. Too cute.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Maybe you’ll get one in your Christmas stocking.
Binky, scan me and then print 20 copies! I need to get a lotta stuff done!
That would be an excellent way to clone oneself if there only was a biological 3D printer.
A Minor detail, really.
Yes, only a minor glitch.
Binky I think the invention could benefit if you add a machine that cover vacuum it in cellophane bags and keep it in your cupboard… That way you can bring it back to Chris… you might need to change and put initial after your name ‘H’ short for hoarder
That might work, too. Perhaps I could also freeze-dry the items to further reduce them. It should make hoarding much more efficient.
Not because we SHOULD, but because we CAN! 😉
Exactly! It’s the challenge that counts.
In another few years … A biological printer will probably be available.
I never even dreamed of a 3D printer!
You’re probably right. They do have experimental 3D printers that use specialized cells to print out skin and, I think, the framework for organs.
Uh, yeah.
I’m working on it.
No Problem – who uses all that stuff? We just buy so many things that are just become dust collectors anyway. I think you guys are on to something! W.C.C.
You might be right. Buy something to satisfy your needs, then digitize it and get rid of it. Then you’ll never run out of space to buy new stuff.
Wow that’s nearly a great invention Binky, and with a little more thought everything will be transferred to the computer, I wonder if Chris could be the test subject? 🙂
Well my digitizer is a little small for that. And I believe Chris might have some objections to being stored on a hard drive.
That’s true but from a
Wombie point of view it
could be very useful 🙂
Definitely. I’ll try to make a bigger model to accommodate humans in my next version.
I see that Dave is hitting the sweet spot lately, even Loon cannot beat him to the 1st Prize Chocolate Trophy these days, and me, well I am struggling to get here on the right days, I think all those 1st place trophies went to my head 🙂 I will get here earlier on Monday that’s for sure 🙂
Maybe Dave is collecting those first place trophies to give out as Christmas gifts.
Monday will be your last change of the year to get another first commenter trophy, so I hope you make it.
Yes I hope so too Peter 🙂
You should start rearranging your schedule now.
That’s 51 seconds of lovely baby Wombat right there Peter and thank you for adding it 🙂 I hope that he / she will have a long and happy life 🙂 It’s a great video…
They found the baby wombat on their property and took him to a wildlife carer to be raised, so he should be in good hands.
I am pleased that the baby
Wombat strayed into friendly
hands Peter, it makes for a
good start for the little one 🙂
Yes, too many of the wombats don’t. Some still consider them a pest.
Sounds much like the cloud.
If you could store everything you owned in the cloud, you’d have a lot more room.
If we did that we’d have nothing and wouldn’t be able to get it back.
It would be a zen life.
Too boring for me….I’ll keep my stuff. 🙂
It would have advantages on moving day, though.
Yes, it would!
🙂
Are you speechless, or just deep in thought?
Deep in thought. A materialess world would be something to behold.
There would be no jealously or resentments
And probably more happiness and satisfaction.
I always enjoy you Wombat videos, Peter.
Thanks, Deb. Wombats are rather cute.
There very cute. I would mind owning one myself…adorable.
They’re not so good when they grow up, though. Unlike Wombies!
I guess I won’t give it another thought then, but I can enjoy your videos when you post them.
I think wombats seem a lot more appealing when seen from afar. In most places in Australia, it is illegal to keep them as pets.
I think you’re onto something. Or on something.
I believe it could be the start of a new trend.
He’s virtually there!
I like to keep it virtually virtual.
Seems like it would work great for storing things you never want to see again! 🙂
Which is most of what people have!
Oh my goodness, that is a cute baby wombat. 🙂
Wombats are very cute when they’re little like that.
What Joseph said. One of me can go to work & the real me can stay home & draw more comics.
And if you want your stuff back Chris you just download it. I thought everyone knew that.
Everyone could use a clone or two. Perhaps that should be my next project, perfecting clones.
Clone me
I can’t yet until I perfect it. We wouldn’t want imperfect Deb-clones running around, now would we?
Okay, keep thinking…chew on these wine gums to help you think.
Thanks. I feel my creative juices improving already!
Fraz, help me. I need a chocolate fix!
I’ll drop off a load of chocolate when I pick up your Wombies! I should be there tonight!
Okay, good! Because when they found out they were leaving they got so excited they started pigging out on our chocolate supply!
I hope I brought you enough chocolate! It was all that would fit on my plane!
OK we’re gonna head home now. Pinky, Cookie, Shadow and Buzz all said goodbye! I bet Chris is gonna be surprised when we all get back!
I like the upcycling of the record player 😉
Things can often be repurposed for a new life.
I certainly hope my four Wombie are being good out there in Wombania land.
They are, don’t worry. I’ve got them busy baking Christmas goodies. That keeps them focused and under control. Everyone is having a great time!
That good to know, Twink….I was a bit concerned about Buzz getting underfoot, and Shadow following you around everywhere.
For now they have been very well behaved. I directed their excess energy into making something they enjoy eating, but tomorrow might be a different story!
For some unknown reason I can’t see the video 🙁
Will come back again later.
I look forward to your invention Binky. I have so many things I wish I can store in my PC and taking it out again when I need it.
If I can get it to work properly, it would mean that we would never run out of space for our things.
It might be just a glitch, or maybe the video isn’t available in your country.
