Things could probably last a hell of a lot longer than they do but obsolescence is built in to most things and nobody wants quality that could potentially last forever because that's too expensive, they just want the latest thing dirt cheap right now.
I like modular design. I'm now very deliberately trying to get more modularly designed stuff (the phone is a bit of a tough ask but I am hoping I'll cope).
I hate it when all the tech stuff has to be replaced at once x_x
I think it is also that people want to constantly feel that they are "progressing" and getting something new brings that - even if it isn't much progress at all.
Modular is good. Clothes should be the same - mix and match. Too much these days is "one use case only" kind of thing.
Clothes aren't mix and match?! D:
if the fashion police existed I would probably be on the run for life
Many aren't these days. Mine are all mix and
