It's like changing your own oil on your car. It used to be something everyone did at home. Now most folks couldn't even find the dipstick. It's the same thing.

I just dont see it as a bad thing. Its more efficient for me to have someone else change my oil than for me to do it. They have the tools and expertise. I dont. Success is about managing your time well, and the 30 mins I spend changing my own oil is not time well spent.
