Reducerea e-waste prin reutilizarea dispozitivelor electronice. Studiu de caz asupra dicționarului electronic Sharp Brain PW-G5200

Abstract

The continuous technological development creates major changes to the lifestyle of all humans and often makes us hunt for the newest device regardless of whether there is a real need or not. Yesterday’s top tech becomes cheaper and often ends up used in specific purposes which don’t benefit from half of its potential power. Devices which already exist are considered irrelevant and often thrown away. This article proposes ways of decreasing our own rate of e-waste creation through repurposing technologically irrelevant devices, the subject of this case study being the Sharp Brain PW-G5200 electronic dictionary.
