@sahouraxo The question is: can the ICC truly enforce this?

After watching this video you will understand why iFixit has given our Fairphone 4 a 10/10 on reparability 🪛

📱 By making modular phones, people can easily replace what gets broken. Because if you can't open it, you don't own it!

[Fairphone Newsroom @Fairphone]

Probably not, right? You just fix the tire! 🚲 So why not do the same with your phone📱?

By replacing what is broken instead of throwing it away, you are elongating your device's life and making it more sustainable 🌱

@TennisExpress - technology is supposed to solve business problems. But when technology creates more business problems due to poor design, then you risk your brand promise and potential revenue. If a product is no longer available, please do not serve the page.

This is inspiring. In a world where “scarcity” has been the prevailing dogma and theory, there is an alternate universe where “abundance” can flourish. #regenerativeleadership

In an era of rapidly evolving technology, we need to decouple *jobs* from *identity.*

Instead of asking kids “what do you want to be when you grow up?”, ask them what problems they want to solve, what skills they hope to learn and what creative ways they hope to change the world.

@smalldoorvet has a branding issue. It tours itself a reimagining vet care. Yet acts as a monolithic, bureaucratic agency as opposed to an agile, lean startup. Why the brand disconnect? I am a Founding Member. #customerexperience #cx #branddisconnect #branding #startup

In 2000, at the depth of the dot com crash, Reed Hastings and I tried to sell Netflix to Blockbuster for $50 million dollars. They laughed us out of the room.

Today, the company they could have bought for $50 million has a market cap north of $150 billion. And the company that once had 9,000 stores, is down to a single one.

But what lesson to take from this?

That it’s possible for a handful of people, with no prior experience in the video business, to take down a 6 billion dollar category leading company? Sure.

But I think the more important lesson - a lesson that Blockbuster learned too late - is simply this:

If you are unwilling to disrupt yourself, there will always be someone willing to disrupt your business for you.

The biggest danger with #chatgpt and AI generally is that we anthropomorphise it too much - and that we confuse binary machine “intelligence” with real-life, multinary, human-only intelligence
