Craft, does it still require the hand in the 21st century? Can a computer mouse and a great mind be considered the same, is a cad drawing the same as a craftsman with a chisel in his hand? Simple question to ask, but difficult to explain.

    Handcraft still requires the hand; however, craft does not require hand in the 21st century.

    Something that is 'handcrafted' does not use the aid of a computer.

    To me, when the computer is used to repetitively to create the same thing, that product is not hand crafted.

    But if I design something in the computer, and it is my original design, then that is crafted by me.
