While I appreciate what you are saying Lady C, there is still a part of me balking at the idea of having to purchase a new device every 18 to 24 months whether it is for a game or anything else. We have overflowing landfills and toxic chemicals leeching into the ground from all these devices and their planned obsolescence. I barely get an $800 phone paid off on a two year plan and it needs to be replaced. There was a time when televisions actually cost two to three times more than they do now. They would also last ten years or more. I find it hard to believe tech companies could not come up with devices that would last. The key would be to make them upgradeable as technology changed. The companies could still make money on the upgrades while being gentler on our planet.
