IT never could have. A phone like this makes it easy for anyone to make an adaptation to that socket, which decentralizes the corporate ideology and it cannot condense to maximize profit. For me, I am glad this video is still around and didn't conspire into a mandella effect among our culture. There is still hope... The people are more united now than in 2014 and the curtain continues to be pulled back as we institutionalize technology into everything. We are observing much much more, and we will adapt to it. I surmise that greed will mostly fall and the true next of our people will RISE Sadly, at 28, I may not get the chance to see it. These chess pieces move across vast amounts of time. Likely a century or so, depending on undiscovered innovations that could potentially sky rocket the rate

Yeah because anyone with a few braincells knows how costly this would be and how impossible this is. Swapable parts are relatively easy to achieve but just putting any part anywhere is not possible at all because there's a circuit these parts sit on which is fixed, so you can't put anything anywhere.

Ótima ideia, na visão de um mecânico. Nós engenheiros sabemos que não é bem assim que as coisas funcionam. Upgrade no processador significa aumentar a banda de tráfego de dados, e existem dois jeitos de se fazer isso: Aumentar o clock (velocidade) do canal ou duplicar, triplicar o número de e/s. Dessa forma não seria possível ter compatibilidade ao usar um bloco pronto com outro bloco pronto da geração anterior. Além disso, imagine cada bloco com no mínimo 200 contatos metálicos, totalizando uns 2000 contatos: se hoje temos problemas com celular desligando sozinho, reiniciando, travando, imagine então com um celular feito de blocos? Suor da mão, poeira, sujeira em geral entrando nos contatos.. Sinceramente prefiro meu celular monobloco, onde o custo de produção é bem mais baixo, e não possui mal contatos. Quem nunca projetou um circuito eletrônico, não conhece a estrutura dos microcontroladores, barramentos de memória, DMA... O que estou querendo dizer é que hoje é quase impossível. A memória deve estar perto do processador, pois em sua conexão e por trabalhar em altas frequências, deve haver um casamento de impedâncias para o sistema não travar (as trilhas da placa em alta frequência viram indutâncias). Vamos ser realistas agora, comparando smartphones "high end" com o conceito acima. Iphone: Tem muito problema com os botões HOME e POWER, onde com 1 queda um ou os dois param de funcionar. Galaxy S3: Mal contato na USB faz o smartphone acreditar que está com carregador conectado, quando na verdade não está. Não dá pra negar. O problema de mal-contado existe. Imagine se um telefone modular cair no chão? É mal contato na certa. Além de que nos dias atuais tudo tende a ser substituído por 1 só chip. O iphone em si possui uma placa pequena, assim como o S3..S4. O restante é só bateria e tela. Se o conceito acima fosse real, a bateria seria muito pequena (duraria poucas horas) e a placa ocuparia todo o espaço do telefone, além de que o equipamento seria grande e pesado.

this is a great idea, a very beautifull project. I hope to look at it soon

Хорошая идея. Но она не покроет весь рынок. Этот телефон будет более габаритным, чем равноценный по характеристикам неразборной телефон. Для кубиков, из которых он состоит нужно городить свой интерфейс, договариваться о протоколах обмена, что влечет за собой увеличение потребления энергии и ограничение свободы конструктора при разработке - как следствие, телефон всегда будет хуже обыкновенного. Самое главное, пластиковая бутылка занимает на мусорке больше места, чем выброшенный телефон. Да, в нем есть какие-то компоненты, которые еще могли бы быть использованы, но выковырять их из него дороже, чем создать такой же новый, с лучшими свойствами. Но я уверен, что если такой телефон создадут, он найдет своего покупателя и вполне имеет право на жизнь.

Why are so many comments upset that this *wildly unrealistic and unpractical idea* didn't come thru? Each one of those modules would need an incredible amount of R&D to make happen. Right now the Bluetooth module in your phone cost them like 5¢ to integrate, whereas a modular one would need to be like $20, and that's for *every component.* NFC, gyroscope, accelerometer, and more. You may say you don't need them but why would you pay *more* to *not have them?* Also the "base" would be a nearly impossible thing to design. Besides polling all the slots to determine what's in them, it needs to be a middle-man so they can communicate between each other just as fast as if they were connected directly like they are in a normal phone. This is such an advanced task that it would need a very powerful processor to handle it, in *addition* to the powerful processor you would need for your regular phone. This device wouldn't just be a nightmare to create, it would cost tens of thousands to the actual user to even begin to match other peoples' regular phones.
