Once upon a time much equipment was built to last. Witness the old washing machines and such in museums. But precious few now last very long. My printer broke down last week. I bought it new just two years ago.
What is the prospect of getting equipment that is built to last longer? After all, it would mean using less resources, and less need for recycling or waste tips (aka landfill). But alas no. After all, the job of consumers is to consume. That means the manufacturers bringing out new models every year and making the older models obsolete.
