The roots of the turn-of-the-20th-century Arts & Crafts movement can be traced back to the industrial revolution and the counter-culture that questioned whether this advance was having a dehumanizing effect on society. I include myself as one of the fans of the continuing Arts & Craft’s movement, and while not anti-technology, I do find a humorous twist to the fact that the Internet (the descendant of the Industrial Revolution) is one of our best methods of sharing the ideals and the related trappings (furniture, art, pottery, writings, etc) of the movement.
