One day as I was fixing the copier, I pulled open a side panel and out popped this little guy. It looked so much like an alien creature I decided to display it on my desk, especially as I couldn't figure out where it went. It did bring back a fascination of what the inside of the polished gadgets we carry around us everyday. If you've ever wondered the same, look no further than ifixit, a website dedicated to the repair of gadgets. I admire their work in this age of throw away technology. I think we could learn a lot of people who try to fix things rather than just add to to the mounding trash heap. If you want to know a little bit about where your phone goes to die, check out this video from 60 minutes.Thursday, July 26, 2012
