In all days machines worked for years or decades, when by some reason ceased to work you called someone to fix it or did by yourself and the machine returned to work for years.
Today is not more in this way, when something is broken you don't fix it, you buy a new one. There still exist some people that fix things, but every day is becoming more and more difficult, if not impossible, to fix something that is broken.
I had a monitor that had an integrated circuit burned, no one was able to fix it because no one was able to find this integrated circuits. I tried to contact by internet to the company that made the chip and I found that this company now is selling bananas, well it were not bananas, but nothing to do with electronics. The monitor ended in the trash can and the trash truck get it away with the other food and garbage (I am not green)
Some company makes a product or component, it makes and sells millions and more millions of it. One year later this company makes a new product and no more replacemnt of documentation or costumer support for the old product. Also the company can not exist anymore.
Products are designed to last very few time, it breaks and become obsolete very soon and you are forced to buy a new one.
As things are going, very soon you will be forced to purchase a new monitor, a new cell phone, a..., every month.
Buy, buy, buy, buy and buy, of course, use the credit cards for this. This is the Law
Stupidity also evolves!
