Everyday we throw away millions of electronic devices because they get old and become worn out But usually it's only one of the components that causes the problem. The rest of the device works fine but is needlessly thrown away. (Not enough storage) Simply because Electronic devices are not designed to last This makes electronic waste one of the fastest growing waste streams in the world. And our phone is one of the biggest causes So this is a new kind of phone It's made of blocks. Detachable blocks. They're all connected to the base and the base connects everything together. Electrical signals are transferred through the pins, and two small screws lock everything in place. So if for instance your phone is getting a little slow, you could just upgrade the block that affects the speed or if something breaks you can easily replace it with a new one or update it with the newest version. Another great thing about this is You can customize your phone So let's say this is your phone and you do everything in the cloud. Why not replace your storage block for a bigger battery block. If you are like this guy and love to take pictures, why not upgrade your camera? Or if you don't care about any of this stuff you can keep it simple and get a bigger speaker. You can choose the blocks you want, support the brands you like, or even develop your own blocks. Phonebloks is built on an open platform where companies work together to create the best phone in the world. To set up this platform we need to get the right companies and the right people involved.
