Many people (and I’m one of those people) feel that the preservation of craftsmanship and human created art/music is extremely important to a healthy society.



Every object in that video was mass produced rubbish so craftsmanship survived unharmed.


Many musical instruments are still made by hand to this day. Many of the cameras still in active use were too.

And even if you pick up a crappy starter guitar, learning it is a purely human endeavor, propagating the mastery that has been passed down through generations.

And I have no idea how to reconcile “it’s all mass produced rubbish” with “craftsmanship survived unharmed”. These are in direct conflict.
