People were worried, because at school and at university (大学), they learnt a lot of academic (专业) skills like new languages, how to write essays and how to think about science, but got very few practical skills. They were worried that they would lose the ability to use their hands to create (创造) things. School and university taught them how to plan things on paper, but they wanted to create something real that they need. Many people also started doing DIY because they wanted to be special. They wanted to make houses, clothes or cars look different from everyone else’s. Also, they wanted to make something themselves that was completely their own. In the 1970s, people learnt how to do DIY from books and magazines, and by joining local DIY clubs. By the 1980s, you could buy videos to show you how to do things like building walls or making furniture, and there were TV shows about DIY. In the 1960s and even today, people go to night school after work to learn how to do these things. People learn how to make clay tools, and even how to build computers by themselves. Nowadays we have many more tools to help us take on even bigger challenges (挑战) and flat-pack DIY furniture is common. You can also find advice demonstration (示范) of almost any project on the Internet. Perhaps the biggest change is the type of things people call DIY now.
