Till vardags omger vi oss av elektroniska produkter utan att egentligen tänka på det. Vi tar bilen eller tåget till jobbet, reser med flyg på semestern och har ett nära förhållande till vår mobiltelefon, iPad och laptop. Vi tar produkternas funktioner för givna tills den dag de plötsligt slutar att fungera. Faktum är att det händer ganska ofta – varje år betalar vi i Sverige omkring två miljarder
