We all know that if you're a shitty storyteller when you use a typewriter, you'll be a shitty storyteller when you use a word processor. Technical aspects improve when using a computer but your talent doesn't. whether it's writing or art. that's an excellent point. i read once about a chinese calligraphy teacher that wadded up a piece of paper from his desk, dipped it in ink, and made a beautiful character with it. tools can help you up to a point, then it's more about ability.
