  • Education of people is always(?) better, I’d say.

    It’s good to exercise the mind, just like exercising the body.

    What if 25% of car drivers could handle their own car maintenance? The one downside people will scream at first is that fewer mechanics will be needed.

    But that is too short sided.

    More home mechanics will need to buy more tools, so that’s more store jobs and more manufacturing jobs and more shipping/trucking jobs.

    And more people who understand mechanics mean a better workforce who can invent new/better products or processes. And can do more research into manufacturing science, which would improve society.

    This would also lead to safer cars because they are better roadworthy, and car manufacturers would have a harder time using low quality parts.

    So all of those changes would apply to technology when more people know how to use technology.
