    Yes, this is all self-evident to anyone who recognizes overconsumption and premature or planned obsolescence.

    My point is that advertising and other misinformation makes it extremely difficult for the average person to make rational decisions about technical issues when making purchases, so blame lies much more with companies, governments, and culture than the teeming hordes you look smugly down on.

      I know, its just SO HARD to not buy your latest shiny. You just cant resist, so it must be someone elses fault.

      Its always someone elses fault.
