I've been thinking... Why can't we build our own phones, like we build our own PCs?
Imagine a world where phones are:
Modular and customizable
Upgradeable piece by piece
Repairable, sustainable, and beautiful
Ethically made, with fair-trade materials
Free from planned obsolescence
Personal, powerful, and designed to last
Not everyone would build their own — just like with PCs, most people would still buy pre-built ones. But some of us would finally have choice, freedom, and control.
Why replace the whole phone every year,
when we could just upgrade the camera, the processor, or the battery?
Why settle for sealed, fragile slabs
when we could have powerful tools we actually own?
I’m not asking for a utopia.
Just for technology that respects us — and the planet.
Maybe one day. Maybe someone brave enough will build it. 0 reply
