I grew up lower-middle class in America and to and extent I understand this.

Disposability is especially offensive when it comes to ~computers.

To have perfectly functional (from a hardware perspective) 10> year old smartphones become "e-waste" is absurd to me.

Even a cheap smartphone is a remarkable achievement in manufacturing and engineering. Its wild to think of something like that as "junk" even though it effectively is.
