Reply to comment by Leiryn in I rebuilt the front end of my aunt's car (as a surprise gift) by toodleroo
I was fixing something at the office one day, and was switching between a bit and a philips head driver in the cordless drill. My coworker saw me do this and was like, “wow! How did you learn to be so handy?” I said something like “from my parents,” but inside I was thinking that using a drill ain’t rocket science. People just seem to have an aversion to learning how to do new things, which is a shame because it’s easier than ever with the resources available online. What I think is impressive is that my dad was doing the same things 50 years ago without the benefit of youtube.

I agree.. some time ago you got a HomeOwners Manual or something along those lines and if it wasn't in there you had to figure it out or ask the guy down at your local hardware store... Being handy required literal know how and experience... Now we have access to information to just about anything at our literal fingertips.. It's amazing!
