We are surely living in a "throw away and buy a new" culture. The phone is renewed every 9 months, and fashion is changing on a daily basis (Though i think fashion in itself is shitty and confusing, H'M's Fast fashion takes it to whole new levels). Nothing is worth repairing when you can order new stuff from china with free delivery.

Maybe we should look towards the Japanese Kintsugi, the art of repairing pottery with a gold infused flue. You join the broken peaces with gold, thus highlighting the fractures, making it more beautiful in the process. It's certainly harder to use the term on a digital product, but it's still a nice way of looking at the world.
