A production mindset can restrict our vision to what appears doable. An exploration mindset helps us explore what seems impossible. — Jim Highsmith

In other words, APM holds the potential for a physical revolution that, if unconstrained, could unfold at the speed of new digital media. — K. Eric Drexler
