Rapid growth in population has lead to a supply : demand inequilibrium in the human needs and the resources available to meet them. As such, great emphasis is being laid on waste management. The very popular 3 R strategy is considered to be a very important part of waste management. The Three R s are a part of the Waste Hierarchy. The Three Rs are preceded by Prevention and Minimisation and succeeded by Energy Recovery and Disposal. Here, we understand 3R and Computer Repair (as a part of it).
The Waste hierarchy pyramid (in decreasing order of desirability ) is Prevent, Minimise, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover, Dispose. Reduce is the first and the most preferred of the three Rs. It includes the term Re-think. To put it in simple words, reduce means to be wary of resource spending. We have to reduce our needs and hence the use of resources. Re think means thinking twice before using. It is considered by many scholars to be the fourth R. Daily life manifestations of this principle include switching off energy consuming devices after use, fixing dripping taps and using own waste of the garden to fertilize it etc.
Next in the line is reuse. It includes repair. It can be aptly described as using already used articles over again. People do not usually attach much importance to this principle. Tossing away and then forgetting is way easier than taking the care to analyze if it has future use potential.
Next in the three Rs is reuse. It also includes repair. Reuse can be described as use of already used articles once again. We do not attach significant importance to this R. Tossing away & then forgetting about a thing is infinitely easier than taking the pains to analyze and determine if it has any use potential. Some citations of reuse are – reversing the gluing of a used paper envelope to use it again, using photo copied paper (copied from one side) from the other vacant side and passing or selling clothes which you have discarded
Recycling is the last of the three Rs . Waste should not be recycled blindly.Reuse has to be considered first because recycling consumes energy. Plastic containers, glass bottles and old newspapers are among the most recycled materials. The major distinction between recycle and reuse is that recycle makes an object usable only after you use some energy on it.
Computer repair comes under reuse and more specifically repair. Computer parts and other electronic junk are shamefully the most mismanaged of various wastes. What will you do with your keyboard if it begins slurring the typed letters? Nothing. You just chuck it out. A similar end is met by UPS (es), modems, computer mice, etc. In a very few cases the tech. Man is sent for or other commercial services sought.
Individual users especially do not pay slightest of heed to repairs. Only, companies have to engage computer and electronic repair services to minimise working costs. These repair remedies are very simple (for an instance if the key board adds its own typos, turn it over & tap a few times. The keys will get unstuck from the bases) but engaging repair help seemingly consumes a whole lot of time. Therefore, we just buy it new during the lunch hour the next day.
The solutions can be simple(like if your key board goes bad, turning it over and tapping it a few times will unstick the keys from the bases) or a little more complex (like virus removal) but calling help seems to involve a lot of time. So, we just buy it new while coming back from work. Computer repair saves you on a lot of money too. Reckless replacement of repairable computer parts is harmful to the economy besides causing the hyped environmental damage. The discarded parts are not even recycled properly. It is high time that Three R and computer repair establish firm ground in our modern lifestyles
