To be honest, steem and steemit is on the cutting edge of the internet, and yes, it will be complicated and hard to understand.
But you've already identified what it can do... You can write a few paragraphs, and have someone read your words without having to use Google to see you.
You asked: "I am a craftsman. So how do I keep up with the latest developments?"
Answer: Just talk about yourself, same as this post. Engage the people looking for interesting people. Share your life experiences... we want to hear about those. It is already working. How do you know that? I just took 2 minutes out of my finite life to write this to you. :)

Hi intelliguy! Just loved your response !
Indeed like Romaan says; positive thoughts, just what I like.
My positive sequel on my first story is ready to post, tomorrow.
Manners and respect
Thanks for sharing your positive thoughts with me intelliguy.
Even though It took only two minutes of your finite life, It's truly an extra stimulation. And that's the impact and meaning of this whole new platform, I guess. It is all about sharing and exchanging personal experiences and thought, to grow along with it, little by little.
Smile to you 😋 Too!
