[QUOTE="Sancho, post: 959613, member: 9727"] Another thing to keep in mind is the fact that companies intentionally make it difficult to repair the technology we have right now and even equipment from 10 years ago. Many companies like Apple do not want the consumer to perform repairs on their own property, even it's super simple like a hard drive swap. So you end up having to buy a newer replacement or pay the company a premium repair cost for 15 minutes of work. Thanks to all the specialization of the hardware, we can expect to lose the knowledge needed to fix older tech. Not to mention the means to make it anymore. What a shame that we can't expect to keep anything for a lifetime anymore. [/QUOTE]
