This article talks about the meaning of 'craft'. It discusses whether using a computer in order to program is considered a craft. The word 'craft' is often referred to as being something that is physically made such as building a table. However, although a program cannot be physically made or sensed by human touch, it is still created using a blank canvas. Personally i believe that if you are a master at something and are able to create something from nothing, whether it be physical or non-physical then it is considered a craft.
