There are many questions you may ask yourself when it comes to old Technology. Should I buy parts to upgrade? Should I buy a new device? Can I use my old device for something else? If I throw my computer in the trash, is it bad for the environment, and could waste pickers steal my data?

Older devices such as modems, routers, computers, speakers, keyboards, and even hard drives can be easily re-purposed. However, there has to be a strategy in place. These items can be used for reading, monitoring, backing up, archiving, running older software, electronics projects and many other things.
