Next, home 3D printers will eliminate the need for online retailers.
Well, this is a very easy fantasy for youngsters to believe.
But 3D printers only print in a single medium; nothing close to printing a hamburger or toaster oven. I'm not saying you're wrong, just that you're more than a hundred years off for consumer use.

Also, you can 3D print a 1911 now. If you wanted to pay for it, yes, you can actually print a toaster oven.
It takes many hours and feedstock changes, and it’s not price competitive with a conventionally manufactured one, but you can actually 3D print a toaster oven.
