150$ after tax isn't too bad, so it would be worth spending a couple of hours reading up on how to do it and by the tools.
- fnid 17y agoYou have to look at it realistically. Yes, you can google it. But do you can your own vegetables at your house? You can google how to do that too, but do you? You can google how to fix your car, but do you do that? You can google how to build your own house, but you probably didn't do that either. I'm not trying to single you out, just illustrate a point. People would rather pay someone else to do the labor. We are now a services industry. Our economy is now based on paying someone else to do the things you are too incompetent, lazy, or busy to do for yourself. There's a perfectly valid reason why too: Technology is getting more complicated than the consumer can comprehend. Home networking, computer backups, cell phones, .. it's all a mess and eventually the people who are buying it just won't understand it. It's good news for the geeks. The world is changing and more people are needing our services than there those of us who can satisfy them.
- tptacek 17y agoIt's relatively easy to Google up instructions on filing basic legal forms, too. People still pay lawyers. A lot of simple auto repairs require nothing but basic tools and a trip to Pep Boys. People still pay shop rates to get it done. The only reason we talk about this is because we're geeks and we'll never get it through our heads that keeping this information in-core is a net lose for most people.
