do you really own your device? 

example: on an I-phone, you cannot install your own code. You are only lending from apple, but apple owns it and decides what you can do and what you cant do its your device

forensics of the obsolescence


example: lightbulbs. at one point in history, they decided to programme the dead of a product in order to make consumers to buy again, more, make it profitable for the market


programmed obsolescence

the process of becoming obsolete or outdated and no longer used.

using programmed obsolescenes also to shape society, to shape life and social classes. who can and who cannot have the newest update? can effort to keep buying

E-WASTE

ecological behaviour has become fashionable, how does that fit into the newest and newest and newest?


the right to repair - can you really repair? companies are private organizations of some people that are imposing the people of how they use technology. There is only a very little trial to give agency to the people themselves. some legislations make companies to sell also small things to repair your devices but, it remains on a very small and unimportant scale. It stays, you have to buy, you depend on the private companies!

thats why we have the right to HACK!!!

or maybe even the responsibility?

recover, regain control of your phone, your device, your agency 

whats high tech and whats low tech?

maybe in the sense of climate emergency, high tech has less pollution or is it the other way around?
