The freedom to repair electronics - what needs changing?

In today's digital age, electronics have seamlessly integrated into almost every facet of our lives. Yet, when these devices malfunction or become outdated, consumers often find themselves trapped in a cycle of replacements rather than repairs. Manufacturer restrictions, proprietary components, and a lack of accessible information prevent individuals from exercising the freedom to repair their devices. This Change Project dives into the current landscape of electronics repair, highlighting the barriers faced by consumers and the environmental implications of our throwaway culture. By advocating for a paradigm shift in both consumer rights and industry practices, the goal is to foster a more sustainable and equitable relationship between users and their beloved gadgets.
