There is a lot of waste still. Pregnancy tests for example. And even the small array of devices - mouse keyboard phone watch charger headphones - still need to be replaced too often.
Don't you just pee on a stick, no electronics involved?
Why sell a pee on a stick for $1 at 50c profit when you can sell one with a computer for $10 for $5 profit.
I've bought a few pregnancy tests in my life, and never an electronic one. Not sure they were even for sale. They were definitely not pushed prominently in the shops. I see talks about them online much more than I ever see them offline. Are electronic pregnancy tests one of those American obsessions?
A quick Google tells me electronic versions of that are common though. Weird. I've never seen those.
Better in at least two ways:
(A) Your phone can run much more sophisticated software and has a great camera.
(B) Less waste.
And a third way: now everybody knows you are pregnant. /s
Does that really count as "running Doom on X" ?
