I enjoy taking things apart, as long as they’re not valuable

If you ever have a device that you’re going to throw out, such as a laptop, printer, radio, etc., you should try taking it apart and having a look inside. I don’t know how half the devices I use work. It’s all kind of just this black magic, but once you take a look inside you might be surprised what you find.

I remember the first time I took apart a cell phone. It’s interesting to see the actual screen inside the phone and how it’s composed of multiple layers or how the keypad interacts with the underlying circuit board. I would recommend doing this on a device that’s destroyed or being thrown out… I guarantee you’ll learn something if you do.
