Slow Repair

Can the slow movement happens in manufacturing?
Could it be the answer for supporting repair?
I am wondering as I discuss with my colleagues 'SLOW'
The slow movement advocates a cultural shift toward slowing down life's pace.
You have probably heard of the slow food movement, slow fashion, slow design etc.
It asked us to slow down and stop trying to reach the speed of light.
As consumers struggle to repair ever changing small electrical products, may be it is time for manufacturers to slow down at least at the same rate or a bit faster than human development.
The role of technology can aid to make human capabilities leap forward, yet become counterproductive when it loses behind the many people who are unable to learn to fix and manage their environment.

So what is it to reckon?

Is the Slow Good Movement possible?

Blacklist

It may be time to create a blacklist of companies to avoid and definitely refuse to  work for: - Those which are more than 3 miles than my home - Those which does not allow me to work from home - Those which does not allow me to work fewer hours - Those which pollute with no sorry - Those with negative employee reviews - Those which do not design products that are repairable - Those which do not put the wellbeing of their staff first what else, add to the list
