Computers!
Who in this day and age doesn’t have a computer? It takes only six months for your computer to be outdated if not less. By the time the new 2010 Dell, Sony, Apple, or come out they are on the way out. Is it planned obsolescence to put the “New” 2010 computers on the shelves June of 2010 so you are only 6 months ahead of the old 2009 or 6 months behind the new 2011? It’s all in the plan to convince someone one way or the other behind or ahead to have them buy a new computer to say ahead in the latest computer. In 2003, over 63 million working PCs were trashed, in 2004 that number jumped to 315 million. The same trend holds over a wide array of consumer electronics. In 1997, a PC was expected to last 4 or 5 years today, average life expectancy is two or three years.
So with all the technology that is involved in a computer even if you stay ahead or behind of the computer boom, it’s still going to be fried in 2 or 3 years. In the end you have to do research on the computer that fits your needs or its going to be too much computer that is going to break in 2 years. Next question what are you going to do with the hunk of junk collecting dust? Well, recycle it!
