I had never considered that but I wonder, should that not be considered a
marker for "success" from a corporate perspective. However, I take some
comfort in the notion that an economic/corporate system that favors such a
decline in product longevity would also be subject to the dilemma it creates.
Perhaps one day we can hope for some enlightenment...that maybe we are all
in this information preservation business together...probably not...it
wouldn't be good for business.
