The ability of making things and repairing by self In the past, many people had skills like making clothes and doing repairs to things. However, skills like these are disppearing nowadays. This is caused by many aspects. The quantity of material is growing quickly. At the same time, the lifestyle to people has changed. In the past, people didn't have too much materials and recreations. They had much time to focus on theirselves families. Generally, the women would make clothes for themself and their families while the men would do repairs to thing in the house. For example, when I was child, my mom always knitted sweaters for me and my brother and sisters. She did that well. By economy increasing, the present situation is total difference. Nowadays, people do lots of shopping and will buy the new thing once something is broken instead of repairing it. We don't have enough time and patience on many things. In particular, after a long day work, we prefer to do shopping ,watch movie,have a cup of coffee or go to bar and club with friends and so on . The day is a fast pace and stressful day. People are busy on working and earning money so that they can own a comfortable life. Even students are busy on their studying. Like, the whole Chinese middle school students are crazy busy to work out the exam called Gaokao since 1977. Some of them didn't do nothing except study and study. It was used to be regarded as the only key to success in their life to Chinese. Until now, Gaokao is still important exam among Chinese students even though not that much as before. In another hand, there are more and more intelligent products. Which means that people need more knowledge and technology to repair things. Obviously, it takes time and attention. The turth is , people don't have it. This was how the things happened in entire world. The ability of making things and repairing by themselves is disappearing. Because of fast-paced lifestyle and distraction.
