it is actually kinda weird looking at that. on the one hand my parents held off on getting internet and cable for a long while so a fair amount of the millennial stuff I got exposed to late. still liked it though. we picked up a fair amount of stuff via garage sales so I actually got exposed to a bunch of the gen X stuff too. Grandma kept an old Atari with so much of their shovel ware it was hilarious.snip
Yeah, I'm Gen Y/Core Millennial. Born in '88, and I had all those, lol.
same. it is so weird that some things can last for decades but for some reason we need to replace so many things after a couple years of use.Reminds me that in my house we still own a vacum cleaner that has been working swell since the mid-1990s.
Stuff made in recent decades is meant to wear out quickly or become obsolete quickly so consumers will buy a replacement/upgrade; they're cheap and of poorer quality, so why spend money repairing or trying to repair when it's easier just to buy a new one, even if only for a few months/years?same. it is so weird that some things can last for decades but for some reason we need to replace so many things after a couple years of use.
