RePlace: Material with Immaterial and Double Duty

We all know that things = clutter, even those that are useful

Dematerialization includes two key concepts
1. Replacing the material with the immaterial AND
2. Making items do double duty where possible

REPLACE

• Replace bulky Compact Discs (CDs) WITH Mp3 files
• Replace a bulky DVD movie library WITH Streaming movies via CinemaNow or OnDemand, or even Netflix (where the movies are reused and not just stored individually by one family)
• Replace a TV WITH a Projector system (DIY kit version :: Super Cheap DIY version) or (Expensive version) where the projector hangs from the ceiling and the wall stays bare BONUS no one will steal it like an LCD tv
• Replace an Alarm clock WITH a software version for your computer (Recommended only for nerds who sleep with the computer on)
• Replace a bulky game system WITH an emulator just ad controller (Super Nintendo :: Sega, Xbox, PSP, other Nintendo, Arcade Games)

DOUBLE DUTY

• If you already have a computer in your room, an LCD monitor with TV tuner can do DOUBLE DUTY as monitor and TV

Double duty and Replace: 2
Waste waste waste: 0
