Even an old phone with a cracked screen can be repurposed, says Josh Smith, editor of GottaBeM. Youre only really limited by your imagination, Smith says.就算是裂屏的旧手机也可以别有他用。网站GottaBeM的编辑约翰·史密斯说：“对于旧手机只有你想不到，没有它做不到。” Here are 10 smart -- and cheap -- uses for old phones.

Set it close enough to the bed, and it can be a sleep tracker, too, with an app like SleepBot (free). MUSIC FOR YOUR CAR Take your music library on the road.

SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM Apps can convert an old iPhone that has access to WiFi into a surveillance camera and motion detector9. Presence, which is a free app, provides a live stream from the area you want to monitor. You can set it up to record video clips when it detects motion, too. If you buy a robotic viewing stand for about $100, you can move the camera 360 degrees rather than stick with a stationary11 view.
