Yet another reason why we need to bring back shop class. This could go right along with the thread about not knowing how to change a tire. People seem to be losing their opportunity/ability to learn the most basic skills and concepts.
I am fascinated by how things are made, built and repaired. I learned at the side of my dad, grandfathers and 8th grade shop teacher. I know just enough to be dangerous and think the internet/YouTube can take me the rest of the way. My kids on the other hand have no interest in fixing anything. They think you just go buy another one or call somebody to fix it.
