Unfixable Gadgets and our future

They are desirable Small Thin Compact

but UNFIXABLE

You used to do that to PCs

But now...

You even think about doing this

Why? It is impossible to do that by yourself

Specialized technical services are expensive

And why try to fix if you can spend less money buying the new model instead?

Yeah, but... Do you ever imagined where your old gadgets go when you throw them away?

(When you don’t just forget them on your junk drawer)

Electronic scrapyards in Ghana

Scrapyards

They burn our electronic gadgets to obtain raw material to sell

It’s awful to their health…

It’s awful to our health too.

Ozone layer.

If you are concerned too, here what you can do:

1 Refuse Are you buying a new gadget because you need or because a new model was released?

2 Reuse The gadget that is obsolete for you, can be useful to someone else. Give it away for free.

3 Recycle One electronic gadget can be recovered or even dismounted and give life to a dozen new ones to be resold to undeveloped countries.

Your broken gadget can be refurbished for their school in Kenya.

So think more before buying a new gadget

Because technology is far more than just another new gadget —

it’s our future.
