Many Unable To Fix Things Around The House Without The Internet, Survey Finds

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- When something needs fixing around your house, can you tackle it yourself, or do you turn to the internet for help?

A new survey shows two in five Americans say they are not able to fix any common household projects without using the internet.

That includes things like patching drywall or fixing a running toilet.

The survey suggests age is a factor. The survey revealed 85% over the age of 65 said they could fix household tasks without checking the internet.
