Industrial designer, Brenden Macaluso has designed a fully working computer made out of cardboard. In seeing all of the waste involved in the disposal of these machines, he asked himself a simple question: if most of the stuff inside our computers isn’t required for it to function, can I replace those with more of a biodegradable material such as cardboard and still have it work?
His answer was a most definite, yes. And the “Recompute” has entered production and should even be available for purchase in weeks!
Here is the man, himself, to describe some of the details for us:
Amazing! You hear that SuperForesters? All it takes is a hard drive, a motherboard, a processor and some memory, and a power supply. Why use what you don’t need, right?
You can read more about the Recompute on their website!
