The growing Right to Repair movement offers a critical platform for consumers to regain their rights in the face of industrial encroachments. Educating the public on the importance of these rights can foster a culture of repair over replacement. It is essential to recognize that manufacturers, when forced, can produce more repair-friendly designs.
Support for repairability benefits not only the consumer but also positively impacts the environment by tackling the escalating issue of e-waste. Being able to fix devices encourages sustainability in technology—a benefit that extends well beyond individual consumers to society as a whole.
