As a long-term member and leader of the computer science world, I hereby
apologize to everyone in the R/C world for my software colleagues who
invent, develop, promote and otherwise distribute software that makes
people believe that drawing something on the computer is better than
sketching a few drawings by hand. Sure, the CAD software my colleagues
have fostered is "neat", "fun to use" and can, after a mere 30 years,
almost look like real things, but alas, the results are still simply
drawings and pictures that don't come anywhere close to reality.
I also hereby apologize to everyone in the R/C world for my colleagues
who invent, develop, promote and otherwise distribute software that
makes people believe that the output of the aforementioned CAD software
can actually be uploaded to even more magical CNC software that makes
people think they can simply push a button from their virtual world and
make real things in the real world. Sure, the CNC software my
colleagues have fostered is "neat", "fun to use" and can, after a mere
30 years, produce relatively simple parts, but alas, the results are
still simply parts that must be put together to make something useful
(unless you're really into key-chains made from old CDs).
Sorry. We simply didn't know the software tools made to streamline
mass-produced products would cause the downfall of hobby workshops
around the world. As the older generation of tinkerers retire and die
off, their legacy of haunted-house gadgets, pumpkin chunkers, strange
Christmas displays, ugly lamps, weird vehicles, R/C everything, and good
ole fashioned worthless novelties will apparently be replaced by lots of
pictures on the Internet of things somebody thought about building, but
never actually did.
