margotv discovered 4 months ago- DIY call to action for education and the salvation of American industry.

- spot on article. I work with both my hands and brain and find that understanding how to build physical items actually makes coding easier and vice versa.

- great hi-level article - i'd love to read more nitty gritty on this issue.

- From the page: "...when we stop working with our hands, we cease to understand how the world really works."

- From the page: "We've lost our Everyman ability to build, maintain, and repair the devices we rely on every day. And that's making it harder to solve the country's nastiest problems, like oil dependence, climate change, and global competitiveness." P.S. I don't think it's an accident that Clive's essay opens with an attempt to build a steampunk clock. The large number of tinkers and DIYers is one of the many reasons why I lurve steampunk. Viva los tinkers!
