| Description | We can call the current situation concerning technology and crafts, without exaggeration, the "dark age technology." Masters that are able to pass their knowledge and skills on their apprentices are disappearing and crafts lost the social prestige. Knowledge can be preserved in books, electronic media, animations and movies, but experience and skills can be passed only if masters and their apprentices work together. We can’t wait for changes in legislation and social perspective on this issue. For several years, we are trying to find ways to bring the young generation back to technology. We are trying to rise interested in technology, we are trying to change attitudes and learn patience, diligence, consistency and precision. Our more than five-year work starts bearing fruit. This paper aims to briefly show some results of our research and suggest ways how to stop the current trend, or even reverse it. |
