I think modern day goods are better at being just durable enough to serve their intended lifetime, but no more than that. Also, I think every generation has products that last a really long time. My personal example is that 30 years ago I saved up my allowance to buy a casio keyboard, which after a few years moved into an unheated attic, and then some more years after that to a cold and damp basement. Recently I dug it up out of the basement, wiped off a thick layer of gunk, put in a fresh set of batteries, and aside from one status led not working it works as well as the day I bought it, and even the plastic hasn’t discolored much.
