“世界不是购买来的，而是自造而生。”这表达的即是一种自造者精神。塑造者、艺术工作者、发明者、教育者、观察者……在纪录片中的每一位自造者都传达着这种精神。自造者是不轻易接受现状的，并且都做到亲手完成，他们分享自己的成果，吸收别人的经验，打开脑洞，大胆创新，有着“坚持自我，寻求突破”的人生态度。

不仅如此，在自造世代打破了对业余文化的刻板印象，通过创新突破，丰厚业余文化的内涵。同时，这些改变也体现出自造世代对美国社会、文化、经济的影响。

正如一位自造者所说：“不一定要有世界上最大的企业支持你，也不需要庞大的实验室，现在每个人手中其实都有创新的工具，把这些工具放到自造者手中，他们便能改变世界。”自造者创造的东西，可能只是好玩，但如果他真的发酵了，即是一种新的创新模式。

"The world is not bought, it is made." This is the expression of a self-made spirit. Shaper, artist, inventor, educator, observer... Every creator conveys this spirit. They share their own achievements and absorb the experience of others. Besides, they open their imagination and make bold innovations , because they have a life attitude of "sticking to themselves and seeking breakthroughs".

Moreover, the stereotype of amateur culture has been broken in the self-made generation, and the content of amateur culture has been enriched through innovation. At the same time, these changes also reflect the influence of the self made generation on American social, cultural and economic.

As one maker said, "You needn’t to have the biggest company in the world to back you up and you don't need a giant lab. Everyone has the tools of innovation now. What an inventor creates may be just fun, but it's a new mode of innovation if it really ferments.
