I guess most teenagers are autodidacts nowadays (hashtag YouTube), but they’d probably hate to be called anything that has to do with teaching, self or not. A world where how-to videos earn millions of views must be a world of people keen to learn things on their own. The question is, how developmental is what they are teaching themselves, and what it is they’re doing it for: just to kill time, to learn a new skill and apply it? Curious to read what Joey’s teaching himself, and what he’s doing with it.
Mitchell, Joey doesn't proclaim himself an autodidact :) I do. He simply exercises his curiosity, and we observe and learn. I think I might be a bit of an autodidact though and that would be self-proclaim... but only a bit

Really good point about how technology and YouTube have accelerated this.
