It used to be that people with DIY projects would take the time to learn how
to do something (buy and read books) and would purchase the proper tools to
do the job. The thing being either you pay someone else to do it, or you do
it yourself the correct way and with the proper tools...

These days I'm seeing a lot of people who don't even TRY to learn about how
to do something and don't want to buy the tools. They ask on the internet
and seem to want someone to do all the work for them and tell them exactly
what to do. And they think they can do ANYTHING themselves! ("Just tell me
how to fix this!")

I think this is because of all of those DIY shows on TV.

They need a new set of shows on TV which explain that some things require
learning and proper tools. Or that you need to call pro if you are not
willing to take the time to learn about something. And that some things can
take years to learn about...
