@c721880c With household appliances such as toasters I think you could actually argue that toasters from the 80s and 90s are much better than toasters today, as many appliances today are made a lot more cheaply and aren't built to last. 

 @e277f9e5 yeah, sure, but build quality isn't how this term is used. actually, when you start to see poorly built versions of a technology, that's one sign that it's mature. or when they start to put it in toys.
