Doesn't depress me anymore.

I've watched the technology
turn untrained office personnel
into so called
typographers
graphic designers
photographers
cinematographers
film editors
etc.
for two decades

Ease of use in hardware and software = our reality.

4 year apprenticeships and degrees?
Nah!
Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign
Auto settings on still and video cameras
Final Cut Pro
and
You're in business like everyone else.
Rock'n'roll

;~)
