‘Last Year’s Model’ is a site that empowers tech geeks to hang onto their still-working gadgets instead of buying the newest MP3 player, mobile phone or computer. As the site’s creators point out, the practice of reusing perfectly functional gadgets saves the planet—albeit through laziness.

‘Last Year’s Model’ encourages users to share their stories on their blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, or the site itself.
