diy encyclopedia business card DIY is the abbreviation of English Do It Yourself, which is also translated as do it yourself. DIY is originally a noun phrase and is often used as an adjective, meaning "self-help". After the formation of the concept of DIY, a peripheral industry related to it gradually emerged, and more and more people began to think about how to integrate DIY into life. DIY computers save users some expenses to some extent. 　　DIY ! [Edit this paragraph] Introduction In short, it is "hands-on". In a more popular way: on your own! "New Words Dictionary" explains: it refers to the way of purchasing accessories and assembling them by yourself. A more reasonable explanation for DIY is: I do it myself. Accordingly: DIM is the abbreviation of English Do it myself, which can also be translated as do it yourself! [Edit this paragraph] The origin and spread of DIY is a concept that originated in the West in the 196s. Originally, it meant to repair the home by using appropriate tools and materials without relying on or hiring professional craftsmen. Although the origin is unknown and may be a concept gradually formed, the rise of the term DIY is usually attributed to Barry Bucknell, a British TV presenter and craftsman, who first defined the concept of DIY clearly and vigorously promoted it, making it widely known. Household toolbox and some simple DIY tools. Europeans decorate their houses by themselves. While saving money, they found that the house decorated by DIY is more personalized, no matter what you put it into, it is different and they are most satisfied with it. Later, they discovered the advantages of DIY, and decorating the house became a great pleasure outside of work, which not only reduced the pressure of work, but also learned a skill themselves. In addition, DIY allows you to choose the best materials. So DIY became popular and the content became all-inclusive. Although at the beginning, the term DIY was mainly used for housing renovation and garden maintenance, people didn't want to spend too much money looking for professionals to build, but used tools and purchased materials to renovate their own houses in their leisure time. However, the concept of DIY has been gradually extended to all things that can be done by yourself, such as self-repairing cars and household appliances, or even buying parts to assemble personal computers, and there is no particularly clear definition of the scope of use. The purpose of DIY has also gradually evolved from the reason of saving money at the beginning to an atmosphere of leisure, personal creativity or hobbies. DIY is used more and more widely, such as patchwork DIY, food DIY, hairstyle DIY, and so on. Today, DIY has become a common vocabulary that can be understood without additional explanation. Because it can be widely used in anything you do yourself, among the young people in Taiwan Province, it often has a special derivative use to imply (or tease) human masturbation. Start your brain and create with your hands, which is the highest state of DIY: as long as you can think, you can do it. This is the embodiment of DIY spirit! The idea of DIY is: from nature, return to nature. Let you relax and feel all the beautiful things around us. Its purpose is: add some sugar to life! Its unique charm is: less money, more beauty and a good mood! Remember its slogan: Be myself! [Edit this paragraph] The purpose of DIY The existence of DIY always seems to begin with people's psychology of saving money. In order to pay less, people will inevitably choose to "do it themselves" and give up "others/machines do it". More than a decade ago, the "furniture craze" really made many people have a "DIY addiction". It is because after calculating the economic account, many people feel that it is more affordable to do it themselves than to buy it or ask others to do it. Because of the scale operation, the cost of industrial production is much lower than that of manual production, and it is not expensive and convenient, so people may not cling to DIY. But when people are tired of seeing the uniformity of industrial products in the market, or the products in the same market can't meet the special needs of their families, the idea of "Do it yourself" may arise. Do what you need, do what you want, and do your own works that are unique and unique in the market, which has become the pursuit of DIY at a higher level. The satisfaction it gives people in the process is more important. Industrial production has indeed become more and more perfect, and it is impossible and unnecessary for more and more people to master the skills of the old craftsmen. You don't need to do it yourself, but you always seem to be missing something, just like without exercise. People are so strange. They need to be close to nature, exercise and work, and enjoy life in exercise and work. This is another high-level pursuit of DIY. DIY exists because of people's needs. [Edit this paragraph] The involvement of publishing media in related industries First of all, in order to teach ordinary people to learn simple construction skills and the use of various tools, some DIY teaching guide books began to be written, published, and even evolved into specialized DIY magazines. In order to let people who want DIY know the kinds of tools and materials that can be selected in the market, some special product catalogs have come into being. From 197s to 198s, with the popularization of television and video recorders, the original flat book teaching guide was transformed into more vivid and easy-to-understand DIY TV programs or learning videos. These changes have gradually formed a publishing media career centered on DIY. The rise of DIY hypermarkets Another industry that has emerged with DIY is the sales channel with selling DIY tools and materials (usually building materials) as its main business items. In addition to the most traditional hardware stores, with the rise of the concepts of chain stores and hypermarkets, the sales industry of DIY tools and materials has gradually combined with such commercial forms, resulting in a brand-new chain of large DIY stores, or as some such manufacturers call themselves-Home Improvement Center. The reason why DIY sales are particularly suitable to be combined with large-scale stores is mainly because some DIY tools or materials are very large, so they are not suitable for being displayed and sold in scattered small shops. On the other hand, there are many kinds of building materials that may be used in a room, which are not affordable by ordinary small and medium-sized stores. Therefore, the DIY retail market occupied by such large-scale stores has gradually formed all over the world. In the distribution of customers, the proportion of male consumers in DIY stores is much higher than that of women. In Europe and America, such stores are often the best space for many men to linger or kill time on weekends and holidays. More interestingly, some DIY hypermarkets in Taiwan Province also provide customers with the services of home delivery and valet construction after shopping. In fact, such a service mode conflicts with the original idea of DIY, but it is quite popular among people here with limited time and accommodation space. It is a special phenomenon that has been revised according to different national conditions. Although DIY furniture panel furniture has many advantages that can be combined at will, it is precisely because of its characteristics that it requires excellent quality, so that it can better match and combine a variety of styles to meet the various needs of consumers. Therefore, it is necessary to have a look, two shakes and three tests when buying panel furniture. Only in this way can the panel furniture bought home be more in line with your life needs. At first glance, it is mainly to carefully check the quality of wood-based panels. Most of the panel furniture sold in the market uses plywood, especially Fraxinus mandshurica, which is beautiful in texture and durable. If it is a plastic veneer, you should look around the panel from the side to see if there are any gaps. If there are gaps, it means that the process is not handled well and it is easy to deform. There is also a joinery panel, where .2-.3 mm battens are pasted on ordinary wooden boards, so we should look at whether the seams of battens are tight, whether the texture of battens is smooth, and the messy texture will affect the appearance. The second shake mainly depends on the firmness of the furniture structure. Push the furniture gently with your hands. If it shakes or creaks, it means that the structure is not firm. Open the cupboard door and see if there is a layer of board inside. Usually, besides the outer layer, there should be a layer inside. This is called double-packing box. This structure is beautiful and strong, but the single-packing box is not. If it is detachable, you should also check the metal connectors. There are two kinds of metal connectors: hollow screws and eccentric connectors. You should try whether the screws are firm by hand. If they are eccentric connectors, you should see whether the connectors and the board are finely inlaid. Third, testing, mainly to see the gap between the moving parts of furniture. Proper clearance can make furniture easy to use. From the suitability of these gaps, we can see the fineness of workmanship. If the gap is large, it means that the work is rough and will be deformed after a long time. DIY and Online Shopping With the continuous popularization and application of the Internet, more and more DIY enthusiasts are taking the road of online business. They sell DIY materials and detailed tutorials on the Internet. This method of combining materials and tutorials greatly reduces the difficulty of DIY for consumers, and also saves materials for consumers (don't buy a lot of cloth for making a little thing), so it is also welcomed by more and more people. In addition, this kind of website is the patchwork kingdom in Taiwan Province. Gift DIY is also a craze on the Internet. You can print your favorite patterns and words on T-shirts, cups (color-changing cups, glasses, ceramic cups), pillows and other products. You only need to select the product template, upload photos, design drawings or add words, and place an order after confirming the effect, so that the design can be made into a finished product. DIY pattern shoes personalized DIY pattern shoes, product patterns are completely customized by the buyer, or you can choose a series of patterns designed by the store. The main material of this kind of shoes is microfiber PU, which is light in weight, good in toughness and ductility, and more expensive than leather such as cowhide. The surface pattern of shoes is designed by the buyer, and various patterns of daily life are processed and then laser-applied to the upper. Laser has the characteristics of good monochromaticity, strong directivity and high brightness. Compared with traditional hand-painting, the pattern is fine and will not lose color or fall off. There are Zazzle in foreign countries and SoloDIY in China to provide this service. With the increasing demand for quality of life and DIY, shoes, hats and clothes are all customized according to consumer demand. No matter what product, it can be easily branded with a unique personality imprint. DIY chocolate originated in Mexico and prevailed in western countries. It has always been regarded as a "happy food". According to the research of American Dietetic Association, chocolate contains a polyphenol, which is also found in fruits, vegetables, red wine and tea, and has many benefits to human health. Ordinary people eat 2 grams of chocolate every day, which can increase people's antioxidant capacity, effectively lower cholesterol and reduce the possibility of cardiovascular disease. However, in China, after the healthy concept of chocolate was gradually established, the market did not form a mature sales system. Only in the "aristocratic" consumption area can you see the original imported chocolate from chocolate countries such as Germany, France, Britain and Belgium, and the price is staggering. In fact, the profit of imported chocolate in China reaches 1-3%, and it is greatly different from domestic chocolate in terms of raw materials, technology, packaging and taste. At present, it has become a gift and enjoyment for the new generation and is sought after by many consumers. DIY chocolate shop is undoubtedly an excellent project to cater to the current market, but it is not easy for DIY to open an imported chocolate shop. How do entrepreneurs master the information of the first-hand suppliers of the best quality and cheap original chocolate in China, how to choose a site, how to decorate, how to grasp customers, how to market smoothly, how to learn DIY chocolate technology, and how to reduce the impact of seasonal changes on chocolate shops are all problems that the market tests for entrepreneurs.

As for DIY, it is becoming more and more high-end. These high-end DIY computers usually adopt top-level configuration and first-class cooling technology. Of course, the cost is also high, which is ten times or even thirty times that of ordinary DIY computers. [Edit this paragraph] The first taboo of ]DIY five taboos: Buy by "money". When buying a computer, most consumers consider not "what kind of computer is suitable for me" but "what kind of computer to spend XXXX yuan on". Isn't it the sorrow of this kind of DIY users to be unable to determine their own requirements for computers and choose a computer at an acceptable price? In the final analysis, the computer is just a tool to use. Why can't we choose the right computer products according to our own needs? This idea of taking money to talk has always been a headache for Xiaobian. Many people in the industry think that their computers have been eliminated, complaining that the update speed of computer accessories is too fast. Therefore, when purchasing computers, more DIY users usually ask merchants many questions such as "how long will computers be eliminated" and choose high-end products, but they don't know that it costs more money. The second taboo of "DIY five taboos": the elimination theory is unable to adapt to the speed of upgrading computer products. In fact, for users, as long as the computer performance can meet their daily needs of the application. When it comes to elimination, we have to talk about upgrading. In order to keep their computers from being eliminated for a long time, many DIY users will consider the upgrade potential of the whole machine when purchasing computers. Of course, it is understandable if you only consider adding a memory and a graphics card. If you consider too much, it will increase the purchase cost! The third taboo of "DIY five taboos": the price factor is an important factor when buying a computer, and it is every consumer's hope to spend every penny on the cutting edge. However, due to the need to upgrade their "machine-loving" products, it is difficult for some consumers to really choose the truly suitable products according to their actual needs. In terms of upgrading, users have to buy products with higher specifications, which undoubtedly increases the purchase cost of users. Some consumers have to choose small factories with poor quality or service in order to buy high-standard motherboard products.
