Ilyse Hogue: We are living in an era that could be the golden age of repair. She says we need to feel like we are actively engaged with our technology. "We're playing an active role in interacting with things that we all depend on so much"

Do we really own the devices we buy? ‘The Right to Repair’ author Aaron Perzanowki joins Adam to explain how companies are using their power to control the products we buy from them, even after they’ve left the store, and prevent us from repairing them ourselves. They discuss how this affects the environment, the livelihood of farmers, and the longevity of AirPods, and Aaron shares resources on how we can take power back and do our own repairs.
