Benefits of DIY

1. An appreciation for the things you have and the systems that make it possible.

If you make things yourself is discover how challenging and time-consuming it can be to make them , you will be more observant of it. I personally tend observe how each product that I use is made and by paying close attention to the craftsmanship of the object, I can use it to apply to my own projects.

2. Expanding creativity and knowledge.

There is a sense of achievement you will get from making something with your own bare hands which would be priceless if it takes a very long period of time and it is obvious that people learn faster from hands-on experience than they do watching someone else do something, therefore I encourage all of you to try out new ideas or even follow our tutorials so that you can learn about the benefits of DIY much quicker so as to generate new ideas and solve major problems of the world like the limited amount of land we have or even reducing the rate of global warming.

3. Expanding social network and getting closer.

When I started doing my own DIY projects, I found many other people online and found that they are very selfless to share ideas and advice about building many things with recycled materials without expecting payment from readers. This shows that there are people around the world that really want to help make lives easier and share the exploits they found so that others can use the ideas and benefit from it.

4. Building by personal preference.

Most people that do many DIY projects have learnt not to rely so much on corporations to take care of them based on products. Even if you have no desire to become a full-time DIYer , if you have experience in doing DIY, you can provide a certain degree of freedom from products as you can change the way it works and maybe even improve the idea further.

After explaining the benefits of DIY , would you be keen in becoming a passive DIYer or an active one?

Why or why not?

I totally agree with you about the selflessness of people and I think that I would be passive and active alternatively? This is because I can hardly think of many ideas and materials that are thrown away everyday like plastics and card boards are usually collected by organizations with the respective bins, therefore it is hard to scavenge for commonly used things that people throw away.

I would be an active DIYer and share knowledge throughout the entire cyber space network to lessen the burden on others by teaching them some tips and tricks towards doing certain things like having no containers can be replaced with anything with 4 sides and a base. But what I like most about DIY projects is the personalization of the product as it can be morphed into our very own desired outcome if we put the time and effort towards it.

I do not have much creativity on my side, but I like to follow tutorials and make cool and useful stuff so that I can utilize them as part of my daily life. I appreciate every single one of the DIYers as they helped me make my world a lot simpler thanks to their innovations. Maybe next time I can get to invent something new and hopefully others can use them to their advantage.
