Final answer:

Chemistry can potentially revolutionize the discovery and distribution of prescription drugs through the use of 3D printers and custom-tailored drugs.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a 2012 TED talk, Lee described the possibility of combining a collection of chemical 'inks' with a 3D printer to create a 'universal toolkit of chemistry.' This toolkit could be used to create custom-tailored drugs to fight superbugs or print medicine personalized to an individual's genetic makeup, environment, and health situation. The goal is to revolutionize the discovery and distribution of prescription drugs, similar to what Apple did for music.
