  • very few things nowadays are made to last. Tech gadget "lifespans" are usually less than 5 years so that people will need to eventually and continually buy new products and upgrades.

    The accessorization of the planet needs to stop... it's worse than the plastic shopping bags we carry them in.

  • OK me, we're going into the mine. Keep shaking your flashlight.

    Ah, by the way, what chemicals are in the battery that uses water? And will I get the output I get from a standard USA made Duracell at the same cost or less?

    And that solar cell? How many total BTUs did it take to make it and how much does it cost as compared to plugging into a 110v socket?

    These gadgets and trinkets in this video are what is polluting our planet the most.

    Where are the science editors at Reuters?

  • Relatively affordable? hmmm...

  • hmmmmm i have a feeling a new con is on the way everyone. Yes i bet it saves energy but i bet its way expensive and that will be the catch.
