## Resource

It's not just you: tech gadgets are hard to repair. When a device breaks down, replacing it can feel easiest — even if it's costly and feels wasteful. Nathan Proctor, Senior Director of PIRG's Right to Repair campaign, says there's a better way. Terms of Service is a CNN Podcasts and Goat Rodeo production. This episode was produced by Hazel Hoffman. At Goat Rodeo, the lead producer is Rebecca Seidel, and the executive producers are Megan Nadolski and Ian Enright.
