Remember my visit to Kenya. Well, one of the things that took place at CFSK was that computer CRT screens were given a third life.
Two lives comes from the use by the original buyer as a computer screen, and then recycling the same screen for kids in schools in Kenya.
But what happens when the circuitry is "burned"? Well, at CFSK they discovered that the CRT tube may still be functional. So they rebuild the screen to a television set. The cost of this can compete with buying a regular TV-set, so there even was an economic incentive!
