The Case for Tinkering

Tinkering exercises the faculties that make you human. I'd like to know how to persuade people to do it more, and refuse to give up the privilege (I'm looking at you, iOS), other than sticking them with badly designed stuff that won't work otherwise.

Thanks for the fun post, and led me to reminisce about tinkering as a kid and how it continues for me today.<p>Whenever something in our home stops working as it should, the little kid inside me is excited to get to take things apart and try to get it to work again. Not only is it more fun but it fits in well with us trying to go beyond simply recycling things and into practicing more reuse.
