What would happen if cell phones could be upgraded easily by us, without
having to replace them? This is the genius idea behind Dave Hakkens Phonebloks.
Everyday we throw away millions of electronic devices, most of the
times its only one of the components that causes the problem, the rest
of the device works fine, but still gets thrown away. The brilliant
Phonebloks is a customizable modular smartphone, made of blocks
connected to the base, with the user choosing witch components they need
most, a bigger storage block, a bigger battery block, more memory,
bigger speaker and so on. You can choose the blocks you want, upgrade
the blocks you want or even develop your own blocks(Phonebloks is built
on a open platform). watch the amazing video
Phonebloks is currently still in concept stage, the project is on crowd-speaking platform Thunderclap hoping to get enough support to move ahead with production.
