Hello.
Recently, i was considering buying one of the latest computer from DELL, the m1330. But while my intention was to buy one of these cool toy, i just couldn't find a good reason to satisfy my "want" for getting one. Because my current computer the DELL Inspiron 8200 is still functioning quite well. Although the battery had failed and i have changed a new battery, upgraded the original harddisk to a larger 80GB harddisk.
Thinking about this............
Today i saw an article telling about the voyager space probe , which is still functioning after 30 years. This reminds us to that machines can be designed to last for a long period of time and perhaps if we use the same machine for a long period of time, we could have reduced the amount of technological waste generated by discarded machines. Eg. spoilt mp3 player,discarded computers,playstations...
So. i think maybe i should continue to use my current Laptop which is 5 years old, and hope that it would still function for 5 more years or more. BTW: it cost me $3500 back in the year 2002.
And also something interesting is that , the voyager space probe uses not battery, but RTG a smaller version of something like a nuclear reactor, which can generated watts of power.
ok.
Thanks
Have a nice day.
