- Abstract
The purpose of this research is to determine public opinion and knowledge concerning the concept of Right to Repair for electronic devices. Right to Repair encompasses many facets, including consumer rights, the environment, purchasing habits, legislation, and economics, and has recently encountered increased interest. We conducted a survey study to elicit what the public knows and feels about Right to Repair. Results suggest that consumers are generally supportive of Right to Repair practices for their electronic devices and believe that laws should be created to protect Right to Repair. We believe the results of this research can inform others or be used by lawmakers and activist groups to examine the repair aspect of the electronic computing industry.
