I think we're too used to just replace things instead of fixing them. Fixing requires understanding of how things work, and I think it's a shame most of us (I include myself) don't have enough of this understanding regarding our day to day tools and objects. If fixing something requires calling an expert, it makes it much less appealing to fix it, than just throw it away and buy something new. This relatively new attitude creates motivation to even further divest in quality and prefer creating cheap things that break fast, because we won't invest the time and money needed to fix them anyway.
