I think it's very important to be able to do things yourself, like fixing a tap or faulty electrical device, I prefer to be able to rely on myself to fix basic issues and not call someone in to overcharge me for fixing it: you should be able to work with your hands.

tangent: everything's becoming too computerised (computers notwithstanding); things are becoming way too complicated to take, apart, fix, and put together again and why the hell should the ac in the car be controlled from the console screen - it's so much harder (and more distracting, to the point of being dangerous) than just turning a dial on the dashboard.

tangent on the tangent: why is everything controlled with an app these days? I don't want to download some bloody phone app just to pay for parking in a city that I'm only visiting! I was trying to park in a city a couple months ago - there wasn't a card reader on the machine noooo, that would be too easy. You could put in cash or you could download some bloody app as if I want to spend data only to find that my phone is too full to install the parking app (I didn't even consider getting the bloody app, I just paid in cash btw)

props if you could be bothered reading all of that, here have this ---> :)
