"using a computer" are the operative words. The engraver is only thinking physical automation. But the computer handles most of the work they used to do before automation. The "engraver" only makes a few easy design choices, hits Enter, and mails it from what he himself describes. That also seems less of a "profession" and more of a trade, if anything.
- photojosh 9y agoReminds me of what's happened to professional photography with the advent of digital cameras (+ Internet etc). The barrier to entry is much lower and the skill-level required to do a moderately competent job has plummeted.
