Digital crafting , perhaps an oxymoron. Perhaps a new dimension in the age of the 4.0 revolution.  We, the human species, are rapidly moving into a new living reality, in which a continuum between reality and virtuality... augmented reality and simplified virtuality is a constant.

Work-life balance  is seen as the imposible dichotomy which might find a better fit under Jeremy Rifkin's Zero Marginal Cost society.
