9/20 Tech Article

Imagine having one cell phone for the rest of your life.  Dutch designer Dave Hakkens dreams of making a cell phone that can replace any broken piece on your phone with a new "blok".  If you have a cracked screen, all you have to do is just unscrew the bottom of your phone and pop it right off and put a new screen on.  This will aim to reduce e-waste.  Just think of it as lego pieces, you can put them anywhere on the grid.  This is just an idea right now, but I think this will be a great phone. 
What does 20 million tonnes of electronic waste look like? Well, it looks something like a large container train full of decaying technology stretched all the way around the world. Every year we dispose of at least that quantity of 'e-waste' and our phones are one of the biggest causes. The solution? Phonebloks -- the mobile phone you'll never need to throw away.
