Geep, Worst of all is that we are the engine accelerating that market vortice! We are always pressing hard for novelties, for a software upgrade, for a faster CPU, for better cars and so on... There is a saying: beware what you ask for, you may get it! I remember the times when people used the same car and the same refrigerator for more then 10 years. As an engineer, I know very well the pressures over design people to build things to last the warranty period plus 1 day! We, as humans, were not designed to whithstand that kind of pressure. The end result is collective stress, decreasing efficiency and very wealty shrinks!
