Feeling Nostalgic Lately
I'm privileged to be able to do what I love for so long. Creativity is inbedded in my soul. In my day, Dental Technicians became Dental Technicians because we enjoy the creativity. The abilty to mimic nature with our hands. We are skilled multi talented trained artists that spent years mastering our techniques with so many different materials literally at our finger tips.
Old school skills are still needed for now. Hands on start to finish skills are sadly fading away because of AI.
Keep being creative while you can. I wish we could keep hands on start to finish skills alive. Future Technicians are needed. In my opinion Digital is beautiful but not as creative as start to finish hands on skill. Its simplicity done for you in a computer program. No disrespect for new comers but it sounds lifeless and limited for a creative outlet, not very enticing for a good challenging hands on artists career. But that's just my old school opinion because Im not trained to do cad cam, I'm an original skilled artist that won't be needed eventually.
I feel sorry for future Technicians who will never experience the joy of completing a case with out a computers help.
