That and planned obsolescence
That and planned obsolescence. I'm also waiting for the day when we will see vehicles that have a special self destruct chip either for specific parts or the entire vehicle to ensure a throw-away society. Remember when you used to be able to shake a printer cartridge to get the last bit of over-priced toner? I heard somewhere that they now come with chips that count pages and then refuse to print after a particular count. Oh well. Thanks for the input!
