so radio shack sucks these days for hobbyists, and really, not many electronics companies are interested in hobbyists. leading to there being not many electronics hobbyists, leading to little to no documentation about electronics. no good for laypeople, anyway. however, with the rise of robotics maybe things will change? at any rate, it would be awesome if digikey would set up little shops in places like...right outside my house.
another thing. what if there were shops where you could just go to with some practical problem, like how to fix/hack xyz. and people who work there would just be good problem solvers and be resourceful. it would be like modern day fortune telling. I'd just like things to be less product/consumer based. nowadays, there is an ideal gadget for everything. well, a lot of gadgets can be fashioned out of other things. it's just that the person coming up with the idea can't get any money for it unless he makes a product out of it.
oh, i just realized that make magazine is kind of like that.
but just imagine if there were make shops, and people who worked there would just make cool things all day. it's like practical artists or something.
also, hi lilian!!!
