Technology evolved

Why is it that when u go out and buy a plasma telly - 6 months later they start selling these damn HD (high definition) TV's and say your old one is c*ap?

So paying 1500 quid for something is only c*ap because they want more money out of you.

Mobile phonies - got one - video player the lot. As soon as I walk out of the shop and get in my car they got a new one in that has a bigger screen and a built in sat nav - bollox.

Things like pc games - buy one and suddenly a newer version is out 6 months later with better graphics and better gameplay etc.

This marketing/developing thing is non stop and I have decided to stick with what I got and not spend any more money trying to feed these leeches.

Rant over.

Peace,

badda.

I try to keep whatever I got until it breakes or crashes, then buy the newest for the moment. A tv used to last for ten years, its not like that anymore. So the stuff gets lousier too.....

most tech things seem to have a life of 3yrs.. then they dont work properly anymore.. I wonder if they put special timers in the damn things..

our microwave suddenly stopped working yesterday. However, it has been making funny noises and flashes of lightning from the inside recently.

I think it was on borrowed time but used to warm up a pasty real quick


have to buy a new one now...

they're quite cheap these days.

I remember when thery 1st came out - (cook from the inside out) myth. were quite expensive like vhs videos were 400quid but now u can get em for 40 quid..

dvd players 30 quid lol

the good thing about not buying the latest equipment is that if you wait a few years u can get it for next to nothing

we just bought a dyson "animal" esepcially for cleaning carpets with dog hair on it. Works like a dream. Apparently they never lose suction...but for just under 300 quid i would want it to cook aswell.
