There are many documented investigations that point to a practice adopted by the industry to create what is called “programmed addiction”, in which products and consumer goods leave the production lines, with a due date. I remember that most of the equipment I had at home lasted years, today it lasts much less. 

 Yeah its madness.. my nans like 85 years old all here stuff is ancent but still working and anything new we buy for her breaks in a couple of years…
It used to be about customer satisfaction but now its all about profit margins and squeezing customers dryer than a nuns CocoNUT! 😑 

 Sad, but true!
