What is buy it use it break it fix it?

"Buy it use it break it fix it" is often used as a phrase in the technology industry to describe the cycle of buying technology products, using them until they break or become obsolete, then fixing or replacing them with newer models. This cycle can be seen in many areas of technology, including computers, smartphones, and other electronics.

The phrase was popularized by the electronic band Daft Punk in their song "Technologic," which features the lyrics "Buy it, use it, break it, fix it, trash it, change it, mail upgrade it." The song was a commentary on the rapid pace of technological advancement and the disposable nature of many consumer electronics.

In recent years, there has been a growing movement toward more sustainable and environmentally friendly technology consumption. This includes efforts to extend the lifespan of electronics through repair and reuse, as well as a push for more sustainable manufacturing practices and materials. Some companies and organizations have also begun offering repair services or encouraging customers to repair their own devices, rather than simply replacing them.
