Most of the major manufacturers of computers, cell phones, laptops and other such electronics now have recycling programs. It is good to see them participate and help keep these electronic devices out of our landfills, but is this really the best way to solve the real problems? We know that computers have all sorts of things in them, that when they decay over the next 500-years, they will end up polluting the ground water.

Shouldn't we look at a better plan? Why can't we retain the shells and most of the components, build them much more robust and bullet proof instead of cheap and through planned obsolescence strategies? We could do this - then the user, customer, or consumer would only have to change out components. How can this be done, well, first we must consider issues of:

Longevity Upgrade-ability Standardization Scale-ability We should consider these things not stupidity. Why can't the industry get together and figure this out, for the betterment of all? There would be less-waste, more inter-connectable parts, lower costs and you could own your laptop, cell phone or computer forever. Companies could concentrate on the components they make, rather than all the duplication and outsourcing. This would streamline production and protect the industry from shortages of components of certain models.

Such a strategy would make repairs easier when a component goes caput. Why would an online writer care about such things? Well, the other day, I took in my old HP Laptop, I had one of those models with the transformer plug issue and it took out the hard drive too. I scrapped the computer and left it for dead. I was looking through the adds for a new computer, then I decided to see how much to fix that old one. For about $ 400 it is working like new again. I saved myself $ 680 on a new one, and save the dum p one less old laptop. Why can't everyone do this?
