PHONE BLOKS - A PHONE WORTH KEEPING

THE PROBLEM

A phone only lasts a couple of years before it breaks or becomes obsolete. Although it’s often just one part which killed it, we throw everything away since it’s almost impossible to repair or upgrade.

PHONE BLOKS

Dutch designer Dave Hakken’s latest project, Phoneblocks, is still just a concept, a YouTube video and a page on social media bullhorn Thunderclap, but it represents the kind of innovation we wish the tech giants were pursuing.

Hakken’s idea is simple. Why buy a totally new phone every two years and throw your old one in a landfill. when you can upgrade your handset piece by piece as it breaks down or new updates become available? Phoneblocks is made up of three layers. A motherboard in the middle is sandwiched between a display on one side and an assortment of components in the back. The battery, processor, camera and pretty much everything else can be easily removed, replaced and reorganized to fit your needs.

USELESS BOX KIT

I recently came across this little useless box kit and i thought i had to share.

So it's a black box, sort of shiny, with a switch on top. But what does the switch do? Does it launch a nuclear attack? Does it terminate someone you don't know somewhere in the world? Does it make bacon magically appear? You stare at it over and over, hour after hour, until you can't take it anymore. You turn it on. And out of the box, a little finger pops out and turns the unit back off. That's all it does, and the smile on your face is proof it works. Presenting, the Useless Box Kit.

The Useless Box Kit arrives as most kits do: a pile of parts. With easy to follow instructions, you'll be assembling your Useless Box Kit very quickly. Whip out your soldering iron, do a little bit of work, and then screw the thing together. When you're done, you'll have your own gleaming acrylic box. Set it on your desk and wait for curiosity to cause victim after victim to turn it on - each to be met with the little finger turning the box back off. 

The Video is a must see. I don't know who the designer is, but if you know please let me know so i can give them the credit they deserve. Check out my website for more www.darrenbarnard.co.za
