The developers of a dexterous robot that breaks down electronic waste believe it could at least double the lifecycle of hard-to-reuse components and perhaps lead to better pay for reskilled workers from high-turnover e-waste recycling facilities.
@NorthernInvader If there weren't an industry that preferred we turn those devices into garbage, then buy new ones, and then maybe pay lots of money for the toxic cleanup, and even more money for the devices when they are scarce.
We have the tech to do all sorts of things, but we've let people be in charge that don't want to do them, and get richer and more powerful by not doing it.
This tech will be nice after we #usethevolcano though.
@AskTheDevil time to put pressure on politicians to make it mandatory
@NorthernInvader It's always that time until they do it without being told. : )
