| - Doing the work yourself will generally save money. You may spend more on materials than a professional who can buy in bulk and get discounts, and who probably knows the supplies better (price, quality, reliability, variety, etc.). But, you don't have to pay for labor. Also, if the work needs later repair or maintenance, you'll be more familiar with what was done and how, so it may be easier and cheaper on long-term costs as well.
- Do It Yourself, or DIY, is a term that is used by various communities of practice that focus on people creating things for themselves without the aid of a paid professional. Many DIY subcultures explicitly critique consumer culture, which emphasizes that the solution to our needs is to purchase things, and instead encourage people to take technologies into their own hands.

- Do It Yourself, or DIY, is a term that is used by various communities of practice that focus on people creating things for themselves without the aid of a paid professional. Many DIY subcultures explicitly critique consumer culture, which emphasizes that the solution to our needs is to purchase things, and instead encourage people to take technologies into their own hands. Recently, DIY has re-emerged in the hipster "craft movement" (applying postmodern sensibilities to decoupage and sewing projects), the Burning Man event/community ("No spectators"), the techie Open Source movement (free, user-modifiable software), and, of course, wikis. DIY is associated with the international alternative and punk music scenes. Members of these subcultures strive to blur the lines between creator and consumer by constructing a social network that ties users and makers close together. The phrase Do It Yourself along with its acronym is also commonly used where a layman endeavors to complete a project without the physical aid of a paid professional. There are various communities of media-makers that consider themselves DIY, for example the indymedia network, pirate radio stations, and the zine community. There is also a community of people who use the term DIY to refer to fabricating or repairing things for home needs, on one's own rather than purchasing them or paying for professional repair. In other words, home improvement done by the householder without the aid of paid professionals. DIY has a lengthy history around the world, since through the ages of camp life, and later village and town life, the most common situation has been for people to use local technologies to take care of their needs for themselves (and, for most of the centuries now past, even to make their own tools, clothing and so on).
