[sdiy] Can your *really* teach "Engineering"?

[James Elliott]

We are too worried about consuming 'stuff' and being entertained than anything else. Why takes risks if you can sit on the couch and laugh at the tv while eating junk food? Where is the motivation to work when our heros are entertainers (actors, athletes, and musicians)?

I have to think that something is very wrong, what is going on in our
education system that we are not progressing on this front? I have to wonder
if the people at large are not looking to the past in various ways tiring to
find the branch in time that put us here with a view to rewinding history
and taking an other branch. Maybe that is what the DIY is really all about,
a rewind and redo...
