Congrats, you pointed out one small detail it doesn't apply to. Notice they didn't say "all electrical stuff".

- wang_li 5y agoIt's also true about cars, homes, power tools, computers, and etc. Newer variants of these items are more efficient and it's just dumb to try to use things forever without updating them.
- mahogany 5y ago> power tools While I agree with your other examples, I think power tools are a bad example. I'm using a wired drill and circular saw from 20 years ago, which both still work perfectly. How is buying a modern power tool which requires disposable batteries that 99% of people will dispose of improperly a better choice for the environment? My guess is that the industry shifted toward batteries because of convenience, not efficiency, but I could be wrong.
