i think this is an issue in all creative professions with the proliferation of technology. everyone is a designer / writer / musician / dj / etc.. we're drowning in the noise!

(Jul 20 06, 08:56)I agree wholeheartedly. But crap is always still crap, and genius is genius. So hopefully the creme rises to the top despite the readily available technology.
I went to a music conservatory and developed a real reverence for serious music academia. I get very upset when people fawn over these American Idol fucktards and any idiot who picks up a guitar. And I am frequently shy about my lack of design training, despite that I make a living in it.
Then again, Lennon, The Ramones, Hillman Curtis, David Lynch, Matthew Barney--all these cats came from something else, and ultimately created inspiring work. So the creme rises to the top.
So yeah, there's a point in there somewhere. :)
