I believe our society, and my generation in particular, is losing the get your hands dirty approach to problem solving. We rely on everyone else to fix the stuff our grandparents righted with their own hard work and practical knowledge. Instead of relying on the internet to find someone who can fix your problem, leverage the web to find the info you need to fix it yourself. If you can spend 10 minutes watching the Antoine Dodson autotune video four times, you can learn how to change your oil or furnace filter.
This is the idea behind iFixit, an online repository for electronics repair tips and manuals. iFixit has created a manifesto outlining a new philosophy on repair. It’s a great piece and a unique way to introduce people to your service.
