 Yo, yo bro, what's up with phone blocks? That is the most frequently asked question I get. So finally here's an answer, the full version. Let's rewind 5 years back. Started off when seeing how much electronic waste we humans produce, thanks for the picture Chris, and it kinda makes sense to rethink our phone to make it less wasteful. So I had this idea for a modular phone, one that you can upgrade and replace broken parts. Just an idea, but a big idea, too big for one guy. So I made a video to share it with the world, put it on thunder clap, it's like Kickstarter but instead of money you ask for support. And within one hour the website was offline, woke up with over a million views on YouTube, 100,000 people following on Facebook, spread it out over the global news, people started a wiki page, some guys in London made advertisements, I don't know them but hey, thanks. And even the guy from Black Eyed Peas said it's the dopest thing ever, cool. Overall, a lot of people supporting. And suddenly I got emails from big companies around the world being interested in this modular phone. And for me, this was just an idea to work towards in the future, like a 15 year plan or something. And then Google came wanting to do it in 2 years, called Project ARA, ambitious but then again they do have the resources to pull it off. So when I dropped by in the beginning their phone was massive, and every time I dropped by it got smaller and smaller. Until in the end a proper phone, I mean it really worked. It booted, it could make pictures, swap modules out, super impressive. They put a lot of effort in this thing. But then the company decided to focus more on software. Boom, project gone. Just like that. And I was watching this from the sideline, amazed how this happened. All the effort they put in it, gone. And besides Google, some other companies did make modular phones. Like LG and Fairphone 2. Not as modular but a step forward. And that was the idea behind this video, hoping that the industry would work towards a more modular direction. And for me, lesson learned. Big ideas shouldn't be in the hands of one large organization, they can just kill it like that. It is a much stronger foundation with a bottom up movement. Ok, so fast forward to a few months ago when I came across this Indian guy. He said he made the do-it-yourself phone blocks. Hi, I am Sri. I am here to show you my cool project. This is our DIY modular smartphone kit, we call it Kite. Kite includes important parts that are in every smartphone. With Kite, you can use common electronic components like displays, sensors, batteries and antennas. Using your favorite 3D printer, you will be able to build your very own device. We have many 3D printable designs to get you started. And he shipped me one to try out. Super hacked together. It looked like a toy, but amazed how it boots and just works. And you can fully customize it. And this guy has way less resources than Google. And the whole project is still bare bones, but it's a starting point. He did a kickstarter trying to fund development, didn't make it, not a marketing guy. So that is what happened with phone blocks. An idea floating around in many minds, but not really executed yet. There is still a massive request from people that want a less wasteful phone. It's a matter of bringing the right people together to collaborate to make it happen. So if you are interested to join or help this guy out, visit our forums and join forces. And for me personally, what I use now, no smartphone. The last two years I am with this old Nokia. Waiting for modularity to come.
