Am I wrong in assuming that electronics firms just don't realize the special nature of the rise of modern consumerism? What I mean by that is that I think it's obvious that consumerism as we've known it isn't sustainable in practice. Sure, there's always going to be a demand for new devices but I think the rate of replacement of them is and will be very slow for a long time. Once devices get good enough or service demand well enough then it becomes a different market entirely just like how cars are today (people replacing them years later and not just every year).
