True.
It probably comes down to the design philosophy.
Will it be made to last two years, or twenty. It seems modern cars these days only have a planned lifespan of a couple of years, then requiring recycling.
I mean, if you do not travel the 'required' 20 000km during a year, you have to in any case change the oil, how ridiculous is that, the oil did not work their butts of or anything, it/they/whatever were resting in a closed system every so often.
Cellphones as well. Electrical entertainment appliances as well. Ooh....ooh, so also kitchen appliances. Some powered hand tools as well. Printers also seem to become a nuisance after a couple of years.
Even the way modern houses are put together indicates a lifespan of few years, sliding doors, windows, garage doors, much of the finishing, the paint for pete's sake. What about the transformer (sub-station) down the road that supplies you power, those seem to pack up every few months plunging you into hours of darkness.
Every couple of weeks some place where you have an account phones you requesting information, because 'their system crashed'.
Even Windows runs better if formatted and reinstalled at least once a year.
See, I've made a strong point, nothing is made to last more than a few years. At the most.
, for the boy in yourself.
