 I attended the Detroit Maker Faire this past weekend.  Quite fun! 
Sounds excellent to me. Anything which encourages peope to grab a
screwdriver and start tinkering can only be a Good Thing! 
 
Don't worry, Tony, I heard your voice there.  You were walking
around noticing that some items can't be truly repaired, that back
in your day computers had discrete replaceable components and a
schematic was included, and that they weren't using a proper
screwdriver, and that you weren't rich enough to afford cheap tools.  :-)
In other words, you would've loved it!
