本文探讨了使杂志和制造商公平的早期贡献构成生物学作为一种“个人技术”。它表明，在杂志中推广的技术表征的几个元素可以追溯到美国数字一代意识形态的后期版本和整个地球目录的技术自由主义语用学。这一遗产通过与“制造者”的文化复活的重组而得到加强，“制造者”是一个体现“草根美国创新”作为无尽创业机会的自然来源的令人放心的神话的人物。与此同时，创客大会正在迅速成为制造业的论坛，在那里这些实践被网络化。最后，本文介绍了如何在MAKE杂志中将生物学作为材料和工具，以及越来越多的来自Maker Faires的DIYBio网络成员的出席，有助于使生物学被理解和实践为“个人”。
This article explores MAKE Magazine and Maker Faire’s early contributions in constituting biology as a 'personal technology'. It shows that several elements of the representation of technology promoted in the magazine can be traced to a late version of the American digital generation ideology and to the techno-libertarian pragmatics of the Whole Earth Catalog. This legacy is strengthened by its recombination with the cultural resurrection of the 'maker', a figure embodying the reassuring myth of 'grassroots American innovation' as a natural source of endless entrepreneurial opportunities. Meanwhile, Maker Faires are quickly becoming forums of manufacturing where these practices are entrepreneurially networked. Lastly this paper describes how the inscription of biology as a material and a tool in MAKE Magazine, and the increasing attendance of members from the DIYBio network at Maker Faires, have contributed to making biology understood and practiced as 'personal'.
