Electronics Overkill


Nowadays the media continually hypes the latest electronic gadgets 24-7. The focus is primarily on computers and phones-the fastest, shiniest, smoothest devices.  Everything else takes a back seat. But of course obsolescence is always lurking around the corner-this author still maintains a closet full of obsolete computers, cameras, laptops, routers etc.,.

It's too bad most people are forced to set aside their once-favored phones and cameras merely because they switched/upgraded their devices. What if there was a way to upgrade these devices? I was gently surprised by this excellent idea from our friends at Amazon. They just launched a program where folks can trade-in their cameras, smartphones etc.,. I'll revisit this topic very shortly. Go check them out.

 This means gearheads everywhere can always sleep safe in the knowledge that their gear is up to date. Perhaps the author can ship a box overstuffed with old cameras and computers. A bill would arrive shortly, no doubt.
