Elitist?

The computer, Postscript, the Internet and "globalization" have unleashed a couple of cultural revolutions which also churned the understanding of writing in a mess. A clear lake was transformed into a muddy marsh landscape. All the old rules and values are jeopardized, being replaced with many contradictory new ones. Non-professionals are allowed to make typography - it's the end of knowledge in the hands of a few: a lot of people who have always been reading, but hardly writing, discovered a cultural asset - design, like with silverware or chairs.
