So I have always been interested in the do it yourself culture that has significantly increased with the creation of digital tools such as YouTube. Having read previous posts from Brittany such as the ones about using YouTube to cut her husbands hair(which I thought looked fantastic), I decided that I wanted to research more about the Do It Yourself phenomenon. At this point I was unsure if Brittany wanted to focus on this as her final project, but here is some of the research I found about DIY.

So by doing this research I now only learned a lot about the background of the Do It Yourself movement, but also some of the short and long term effects this movement has if it still continues to progress.
