@kus-knee Isn’t it funny when you come across a product your parents or grandparents are using that you’ve never seen before because it’s so old? Like a vacuum cleaner that belongs in a glass case somewhere, or a television fit for a museum (not in their closet or living room.)
As someone who is on her third Apple iPod (and no, the other two haven’t died on me yet), the idea of a product lasting for years to come without dying or becoming obsolete is news to me. I can only imagine what it’ll be like for my kids someday.
If you’ve ever been frustrated by the idea of a company coming out with the latest and greatest thing every six months, then you aren’t alone. The idea of planned obsolescence isn’t a new one, but has been around for generations. You’ve probably even come across this practice in your everyday life!
Well thanks for sharing with us these things.

On the iPods, all devices that use software eventually end up "updating" your device to the point it won't work. So you have to stop updating at some point, then you become "vulnerable". Maybe all the "hacker villians" aren't just some adult kid in a basement or gangs in Russia. Maybe they're on payrolls...
