Resourcefulness

I love going to my uncle Brian's house, there's always something new to look at- I particularily like the pillar drill in his workshop- Its connected to another machine, then to a motor to run.. it reminds me a bit of India. Which got me thinking, is resourcefulness a generational or cultural thing- or maybe a mixture of both... I know that its foreign to most people my age, which make me think that its generational. Though Stefano suggested once that maybe the western way of being resourceful is by getting something for a bargain price. I still think there are more practical ways of being resourceful though.
