Quite Possibly the biggest Tech evolution since the 90's.

Phonebloks. We had a discussion about this before. Don't know what this is? Check out the video:



The theory. 1 part goes out. The device gets thrown away. Why? Let's look beyond companies like Apple that embrace forced obsolescence. Companies need to make money. Humans and the newest thing. Best sales pitch ever.

Guess what? Phones may finally change.

This is kind of a month or so old, but the main downsides to this idea overall are overwhelmingly huge. It sounds great in theory, but is an engineering nightmare. You can't just connect all these blocks with "electrical signals".

I have to side with failman on this one Rosey, you blatantly didn't read the article. I had to explain to you in mumble that today there was an announcement about how this shit was going to actually happen.

You're a keyboard.
