So true, we live in a throw away society and when you think about it, electronic items are not designed to last like they did years ago. Now take modern cars with all these computers inside, digital dashboards with 12" built in Toch screens etc et. gone on the days of push buttons or manual air vent sliders, everything is going touch base or all built into the Car Entertainment screen.
Now from my experience their has been quite a few occasions I have had to turn the car off and turn on the Car, because the In Car Entertainment systems requires a reboot, and I have had quite a few cars.
