[hackerspaces] Hackers, Makers and Teachers: A Hackerspace Primer (Part 1 of 2) « Andrew Richard Schrock

[Charlie X Wallace]

Most of us didn’t really care for the article.  clap trap like this :-

“Members of hackerspaces are also quick to point out that you can’t repair 
anything now. If your TV breaks, it’s so cheap and complex that it’s often 
easier to simply replace it “

It's more that people got lazy  and lost the skills or want to do it, its 
easy to break out the wallet than the knowledge. I'll fix your damn tv all 
day long, as long as you don't turn up with, hey I'm too lazy to do this, 
will you do it for me  ( true story )

First part of this 2parter makes a good read - interesting tracing of 80/90s 
hacker culture into hackerspaces and emergence of makers.. and ends as it 
starts talking about education.
