4D Printing and Why is it Cool?

The 3D printing revolution is already disrupting the process of manufacturing and growing at a super fast rate.  Now we have 4D printing.  Wat what?  Yes that is correct in in this case, the 3D printed materials can move, representing the 4th dimension…time.  Eventually there will probably be frameworks or embedded repositories within the materials that could be open sourced like linux.
