Why technology devices don’t last forever
In: 0
Assuming you take care of them, most devices will continue to operate for decades and decades. And if you want to keep doing the same things with them, then they’ll be fine. But you’re not doing the same things with them.
The internet is more demanding than it was 10 years ago, or 20 years ago. Video games are more demanding. You try running Tears of a Kingdom on a NES. It wouldn’t even be able to display a screenshot of the game at anything like acceptable quality.
So yeah, if you just sit and play the same games forever, or just run Microsoft Word, sure, it’ll last basically forever. But really anything NEW, whether that be newer web pages, newer games, higher quality video, whatever, is gonna require more computing power. Eventually your device simply can’t keep up.
