The thing I love about tools is that they will always be useful. My ratcheting screwdriver will be as handy in ten years as it was when I bought it. On the other end of the utility/sustainability spectrum, we have techno-objects that are useful today, but will be landfill in several years.
An example of this is this Rabbit Charger. You remove an existing dual power outlet’s cover, then plug the Rabbit into it.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
It has two retractable cables (your choice of Micro USB or USB-C) that you can use to charge a phone and/or device.
Since we’re rapidly hurtling towards a future of wireless charging, this object isn’t likely to have a long shelf life. But I suspect people will be drawn to the novelty and short-term convenience of it.
