In this episode of 'Grey and R2 - A Planet Podcast' we dive into the exciting world of modular technology. Imagine a world where your gadgets never truly die—they evolve. Modular devices promise repairability, sustainability, and a future free of planned obsolescence.

But why hasn’t this innovation become the norm? Grey and R2 explore the challenges holding modular tech back, from industry resistance to consumer habits, and uncover its incredible potential to transform our relationship with technology.

Plus, R2 shares their thoughts on designing the ultimate modular gadget (hint: it’s very practical) and why Trigger’s new broom might be the perfect analogy.

Tune in for an engaging conversation about the future of tech and what it could mean for our planet.
