Automation and Craftsmanship: Why Crimping Cable and Other Manual Skills Matter

We live in an age of rapidly increasing automation. Tasks that we once thought would always be done by hand are now being completed by specialized tools, systems, and robots in a fraction of the time and with incredible accuracy.
