Why is everything we buy today a big file of s***? Surely there must be some manufacturer of an electronic product out there that is capable of building something that will last more than a month. A one year warrenty is a joke as you can’t afford to replace every single piece of electronic equipment you own every year and yet most of the electronic products you get these days don’t even last that.
My phone is now in even deeper problems. I only got it last summer and the little joystick in the middle of it is already stopping functioning properly. Now the batter cover isn’t going on right anymore. It’s just unbelievable how low quality these things are, especially for something A) I paid over £100 for and B) made by Sony. If this is Sony’s product, what the hell is everything else going to be like? Falling apart in my hands? That is bascially what my laptop did.
My MP3 player is all but unusable, my digital camera has been back for repairs, my DVD player has too, my personal CD player that I had before my MP3 player (which I paid £100 for, I went for a good good one is a lost cause, one of the ports on my router just randomly died, I’ve gone through a million guitar leads even though I don’t play it that much, the buttons on my camcorder barely respond and the batteries now last about 25% of the time they should do (which still beats the 90 second I get out of my laptop – yes, 90 seconds!). The list of poor quality electronics goes on and on. It’s almost enough to make you give up and reject technology.
