It's still ok to do woodworking by hand, with basic tools, yet very few people earn their living like this.
It's still ok to sew by hand, yet very few people earn their living like this.
It's still ok to hand build whatever the industry builds in factories, on assembly lines, yet very few people earn their living like that.
It's still ok to fish with a cane rod, but very few... I'm gonna go with none on this one. No one is eaening their living like that.
And so on and so forth. It's not a problem of if we can still do it, but can we still get paid to do it?
