If you're anything like me, or many other tech consumers, you've probably come across devices that have been useful, utter junk, or the greatest thing you could have hoped to use.

 

With all tech, namely phones, computer components, or printers, they eventually become dated, worn out, or tragically broken. Maybe its just me, but I have used some technology that has served me well beyond all expectations and when its time to discard that broken equipement I can't help but have this vacant feeling of not giving it a proper send off.

 

MY PROPOSAL:

What if there was someone who could create a Tech Eulogy webpage/Subreddit/SubForum to commemorate all the useful tech people have appreciated and never got a chance to give it a proper send off with a note of appreciation and maybe a picture of said device.

 

Would anyone like this idea or contribute? Or has this idea already been created? Just an idea I would like to share with the tech community.

 

-Additionally-

What if that webpage also had connections for community recycling/repurpose programs in your area to be environmentally conscious when disposing of your admired tech

 

Thanks, have a wonderful day. :)

Would be nice, but sounds like an opportunity for shilling.

 

and nothing I have ever used that has served me well has actually died yet. All my Nokias still work, the only eulogies I could give them would be for their batteries. Same goes for my old laptop. That thing is still alive and kicking after nearly thirteen years. My new laptop works even after being stabbed with a soldering iron and an overclock, not to mention a battery hack.

Besides, I'm a pack rat, and I can't let things go even if they're broken beyond repair.

LOL my pile of old components that couldn't possibly be usefull for anything other than some sort of museum at this point agrees with the packrat thing...
