Yes.  But as I mentioned elsewhere, such a willful failure to gain
insight into the most revolutionary technology to ever confront our
civilization has had extremely deleterious consequences.

A loss of privacy is only a minor problem compared to the fact that
our society cannot think in digital terms, and this inability to
comprehend digital concepts has created terrible stagnation in the
midst of all this computing plenty.

Have you ever experienced the "modern" office of any kind?  To say
that this environment is 20 years behind the times would be generous.
For the "modern" worker, the computer is merely a paperweight to
keep order to the masses of paper still being pushed.  The extreme
revitalization of business practices that should have taken place
because of digital technology has not taken place and the sole
reason is an entrenched ignorance.

Civilization advances only when the average inhabitant is able to
increase his sophistication in the wake of new technological advances.
In the case of the digital revolution this has not happened.
People want someone else to take their hand and guide them like a
dumb animal.  As a result we have a widespread looting of our
personal lives and an appropriation of otherwise personal power
by large corporate entities.  In this sense, our culture has regressed
and not progressed.

One has to have a damned good income to rely on repair services.
Auto repair has become so expensive that the government in my state
(and perhaps many other states) has made special grants available
to allow low income people to fix their cars.

Regarding restaurant or prepared food, one would have to be a total
idiot to partake of that inferior fare.  A lack of healthy ingredients
with way too much salt and fats characterizes virtually all food
that is not prepared in the home kitchen  

In fact, considering the poor technical competence of the majority
of repair and service establishments, the only way to insure high
quality of workmanship is to do it yourself.

No.  Do-it-yourself is far better, both for the individual and,
by breeding a more informed and sophisticated citizen, for the
betterment of society in the long run.
