After reading Mike’s blog post, I immediately researched about Project ARA and Phonebloks. As someone who regularly breaks her phone, I was definitely interested in this product.  As well with new phones being released so often, I find that whenever I buy a new phone, there is always a better phone that will be released soon after.

I truly believe that if Project ARA does receive enough funding, that this product will be successful. First off, it is environmentally friendly because it reduces the amount of electronic waste because consumers no longer have to throw away the entire phone, only the part they want to replace. Secondly, this phone is customizable and can be used by all types of users as they can design their phone to cater to their specific needs.  Lastly, this phone can be constantly updated. With phones now, sometimes customers have to wait until their 2 year contract ends  just so they can update their phone.
