Automation vs "handmade" is a very important topic for our geek world, and very broad. This article signals that, even in something as human as making coffee, automation is clearly winning. And yet the author refuses to concede the point (I'd do the same, although for different reasons).
It's important for anyone involved in creative industries to understand, in their specific field, what can be automated today, what has already been automated, and what should not be automated. These are huge factors that will affect your training, your output, your pricing, your marketing and your future strategy, regardless of which field of endeavour you're in.
JBlow must be a real genious and really good at what he does. I mean that serious now and not being some smart ace. Some people use that to their strategy, to their focus or game plan. I see myself in this way most of the times, in some events where I really don´t feel like talking about my business or wanting to hear yours. I just want to be there for the booz and a good time and get the hell out..and that´s it, if they want an email or contact do so, no problem but I don´t care to talk business at that time, I do it when I am focused!
