Given the number of stories on TFTS about users who don't actually know what "backup" means, this is either a really bad idea or a really good idea.

It's rather nonsensical when you're talking about things from the same generation, but James May, in his book The Reassembler, made a good argument against fixing old things - old things made for a time when things were expensive and had to be built to last, which meant making them easy to repair when they broke down (which happened frequently) - new things are more reliable and require repair far less often than the products of old, and attempting to repair old things diverts energy away from new innovations, thus holding humanity back. No sense trying to repair an old Nokia 5110 when even the cheapest smartphone from Wish will run rings around it and last longer anyway.

:Well, the old Nokias are indestructible anyways, so you wouldn't even be ''able'' to open the case and repair it.
