Thought for the day
Do you fix stuff that breaks?
Yesterday I reattached a cupboard door; the screws had pulled out and broken the cupboard wall they came out of. But this has me thinking, do you fix things? Computers are hard but not impossible, phones are extremely hard with only specific things that can be fixed. But what about simple things like a broom handle or chair.
This is a little in the vein of the thought from yesterday, where we are conditioned to consume without thought by advertising.
Yes. I actually just ordered a replacement battery for my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. Luckily it's only a matter of lifting a ribbon cable.
I think it's easier to fix electronics, than it is to fix simpler items like socks, shirts, pants, coffee cups, shoes, etc. Probably because the latter are designed to be disposable these days.
