I did expect that by 2015 somebody would have figured out a way to make a decent kettle that lasts a lifetime, or a similarly decent fridge, or washing machine, or even a watch. Sadly, I was disappointed.<p>If you own something, you&#x27;re not buying it - so the seller doesn&#x27;t get the money. Software figured this out quickly - that&#x27;s why everything that has not moved to cloud yet is being sold in form of licenses - a temporary grant to use some software. Rest of the world did it with planned obsolescence, and now the trend is to actually make you license hardware instead of buying it. It&#x27;s sick. But that&#x27;s where the money is, that&#x27;s what the Market[0] says to do, therefore it&#x27;s happening.<p>[0] - or Moloch.
