And I guess it depends on how you view the technology - for example I don't consider that having a blog makes me a writer - for me it's just a 'keep in touch' marketing tool, but maybe one day I will write a bestseller :-)!

Also, as a journalist, I understand your comment entirely - these days the world is full of people who have a blog that makes them think they are a journalist/writer. Equally, having a digital camera does not make you a photographer. But given the number of competitions you see these days inviting people to submit their mobile phone camera pictures, would some claim this makes it possible for them to create art, even if they are clearly not professional photographers? The key word in the comment you quoted is "potential". Who can say that there is not someone out there who, thanks to a mobile phone camera, might not be able to create something that might one day be considered great art? Technology at least allows the possibility to exist where once it did not. Even Gordon Ramsay probably started out boiling eggs on his parent's cooker.
