What do you do with your old phone, laptop and tablet after you upgrade to new ones?


Deloitte Mobile consumer survey 2016 showed that more than half of the Australian consumers keep their old phones after buying a new one.

Recycling the old unused phones can be one option which helps remove most metals and other materials from the landfill.

But according to the survey, only 13 percent of people recycle or throw away their phones.

But if you like to keep your old smartphone, laptop or tablet why not use it for another purpose?

Network Engineer Mr. Mohamed ElKomy offers suggestions for using computers, phones and smart systems in a different way.
