 Things built these days clearly are not ment to last more than 3 years…
Everything breaks within 3 years or less… you can drop n iphone from 6 inches of the ground and the screen will shatter into 7 million pieces….. anyone remember having a nokia 3310?? 
Im sure mines still un a draw with the battery still not dead and hasnt been charged in 15 years!! Not to mention u could drop a nokia 3310 from the edge of earths atmosphere and it wouldnt break…. 

You know what else is hard to break that was built 15 years ago….

Thats right #bitcoin 😜🤷🏼‍♂️ 
 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!
