A DIY Country

According to a story in the news, America is becoming a DIY country. Do It Yourself. England had always been at the top of the statistics for this, but due to the economy American is gaining ground. I see this DIY mentality in every phase of life. We build our own websites. We print our own pictures. We craft items that used to be store bought. Americans are now using imagination and muscle to do what we used to hire someone for. Since You Tube has arrived on the internet, people are being tutored for free on anything from building a room to installing brakes on a car. Just watch a few videos and you are good to go. Any project is made simple if an expert baby steps you through it. For most of us, the luxury of sitting back and having things done for us, is a thing of the past.
