If it ain’t broke don’t fix it right? When it comes to cell
phones, the beloved adage does not ring true - most folks upgrade their
phones more than once every two years. But why? Some people are looking
for the most up-to-date technology, while others discover that instead
of fixing a broken part, it’s easier and cheaper to buy a whole new
phone. This amounts to a significant number of discarded cell phones - over 150 million in 2010 in the United States alone.Dave
Hakens has come up with a brilliant concept that might just
revolutionize the way electronics are made, starting with cell phones. Phonebloks
would be a customized cell phone made up of easily detachable blocks,
allowing the user to build their own phone depending on individual
needs. Parts would be supplied from a wide range for brands, giving the
buyer the choice to construct the cell phone of their dreams. For
example, some might want a larger, easy-to-read screen while camera
buffs might opt for a premium lens.
At this point Hakens isn’t
seeking out funding for Phonebloks, but rather gauging demand and
interest in his ingenious idea. He’s teamed up with Thunderclap, a crowdspeaking platform that allows a singular cause or message to be shared in mass, flash mob-style via social media. Phonebloks’ message will be blasted out on October 29th
with the hopes of reaching a large audience, including designers and
engineers, who will jump on board to create the very first sustainable
cell phone.
