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?

Others got inspired and joined us to develop a taster and full day workshop on Money. After the taster...

Kidnapper?

A kidnapper is a person who abducts someone and holds them captive, typically to obtain a ransom. There are many kidnappers in one life. Those who love you may be you holding you captive until all is gone. Your work is too taking away your childhood dream so you can keep running on the treadmill. A tree is too, it gives you air. Cut it, you may die. Find and name your kidnapper and weight whether you shall escape or stay. Remember though as you live one another emerge because the definition of yourself does not exist, you are dependent on others and the environment you are in.
