Feb 21, 2012 - My PC is 7 years old, I just changed the graphics card last year and can still use the latest video games. Electronic design is not that bad, and you also have to see that the technology changes really fast. The problem is more on the producers side (toxicity, bad recycling) and on the consumer side (do you REALLY need that new fancy cell phone ?).

Feb 20, 2012 - Well performed. Read a fiction novel on the topic: "Wokade mobiler". If your Swedish is up to it. :-) /Carl

Feb 19, 2012 - @Cameronallanowens you missed it to. look at it this way. you buy a new car for 20.000$, you drive it for a while and something broke. you go to the repair shop and they want to charge you for the repair 25.000$. how can changing one part of the machine be more expensive then whole new machine?

Feb 18, 2012 - If indeed processor speed doubles every 18 months, your designed to last computer in just 4.5 years will be only 1% as fast as the new stuff. maybe people can deal with that, but in a system where the new web-pages require the power & processing speed of state of the art, a behind the times machine would simply NOT have access to the state-of-the-art web sites. oops ... oh well ... now what?

Feb 17, 2012 - This video doesn't take in account that people are throwing away perfectly usable stuff all the time. Also modularity is already in most electronic gadgets, you can repair anything if you want (and if you are ready to shell out some money), but people prefer to buy a new computer rather than repair an old one.

Feb 14, 2012 - PCs are already modular, easy to build and the components are quite durable... You have to keep in mind that compatibility is a problem that isn't intentional... AMD for example have full compatibility between their AM2 AM2+ AM3 and AM3+ sockets which means that you can for example install a AM2 CPU on any of these sockets... That's great when people already have "Superb CPUs" and need only a new motherboard (which is a much bigger component but not necessarily more important or expensive)

Feb 9, 2012 - Check us out on google at ejunkezDotcom We use only E-Steward Recyclers to process all of our electronics. plus we are changing the face of the way recycling looks and is done by adding incentive programs for our customers.

Feb 7, 2012 - Even if something is during an entire life, we can't stop women to get bored of they old stuff and buy new ones...

Cameronallanowens Says:

Feb 4, 2012 - I find it funny how she promotes "green" thinking but doesn't want to pay the cost of actually doing the green thing of repairing her DVD player. She speaks of having things being modular and repairable yet doesn't want to pay to actually do that. What a load of bull. I agree that we need to change our environmental thinking but people need to look at the REAL issues. That Prius you drive is much worse than anything else on the road because of the electronics in it. SEE THE BIG PICTURE.

SandoboxProductions Says:

Jan 29, 2012 - @BlueStrikeP completely agree with you there.

Jan 29, 2012 - I can think of a billion different reasons why most of the statements here are wrong or unavoidable.

Jan 27, 2012 - @vBotics So don't buy health insurance. Really what people want is health care that cost cheaper than the market has set. It would be amazing if we had healthcare allow for competing costs instead of the oligarchical structure.

Jan 27, 2012 - oh gosh golly gee willigers the communists are invading with their propaganda!

Jan 27, 2012 - I hate you.

vBotics Says:

Jan 27, 2012 - I wish you guys would do a video on Health Insurance, it's just a middle man sucking out money from healthcare.

Jan 25, 2012 - @higurashikai09 I've got tools from the 50s that still work, where the same type of tools bought 5 years ago have quit working.

DJMC5ive Says:

Jan 25, 2012 - I have no idea why, but when I see this, it seems like ellen degeneres would be narrating it.
