Repairing

The global repair network is still changing. It used to be very local: you used to bring your broken radio around the block. Now you just throw it away; at best, it is disassembled and reassembled into something else in Asia or Africa. You used to bring your car to the mechanic; now it is put on a bulk carrier shipped to Lagos. But repairing isn’t only fun, it also changes your perspective on materiality. Soon www.askthemechanic.com will be bought by www.instructables.com .
