That seems like a bizarre concept to us, but there is arguably a good reason to keep old gadgets like a first-gen iPhone or last’s years 120Hz LCD TV: the environment. lastyearsmodel.org is a website that tries to get us to think about the impact of our electronics on the environment. It’s not bad to get the latest and greatest, but there surely a way to repurpose older stuff instead of ” mindlessly discarding” it.
My technique is to setup a recycling cascade between me, my sibblings and my parents. After some time, my brother and sister get some of my “old” tech, then it is our parents’ turn touse it. Right now, my old Treo 600 is still being cared and loved for by a happy owner. Head to the site, join the cause, and tell your story.
