I am going to guess that people secretly like when their gadget breaks because it gives them an excuse to buy something new.

- pbhjpbhj 9y agoBecause billions upon billions is spent on reinforcing the idea that we should throw away something that's "out of fashion" and have a new thing, because new things make you feel great. You want to feel great, right? So throw away that old thing - get a new thing. Being able to find a part to fix something makes me feel way better about myself than increasing the pile of junk being sent to be re-mined in some Chinese junk-yard.
