A lot of artisans and craftsmen opened up their shops to the general public today. On the news: a woodcarver and a micro-brewery brewing a local specialty.
There were calls to not let these forms of art, traditions and products that have additional value over mass produced num-equivalents go to waste.
I hope that the future will bring prosperity to the degreee that people can continue to do these things in their ample spare time, or alow rich patrons of the arts to support people with the skills to provide others with these amazing objects and foodstuffs.
Litterary equivalent: The diamond age by Stephenson: the Victorians buying handmade objects such as furniture and paper for their artistic value, in spite of being able to have them made by advanced machinery.
