The article describes the earliest glassblowers and their society. It mentions that from the very start, glassblowers have followed an odd mixture of innovating while still adhering to tradition. It states that the automation of glassblowing has removed the need for glassblowers worldwide to make functional items. Glassblowers in the United States are somewhat fortunate in that they have been relieved by the automated glass industry of the sheer magnitude of supplying everyone in the country with tablewares, window glass and more.
