Dick Cappels shared a link on Face Book that sparked a conversation:
Not serviceable! In part because of the total lack of education about fixing or even making things.
In part because WE made manufacturing so efficient that it is much better to make another than to fix.
In part because the parts are so small....
As I look back, "WE" did a good job of "cost down", "size down", "function up" and "more cost down" to the point where it is not fixable.
I set here with a screw driver in my hand and there is no screw to turn.
"WE" did this and I am a little proud of it."
My first computer cost three months wages and took four trips to carry it to another room. My new computer fits in my hand. WE did this. Like it or not.
Comments welcome.
