I think there is many things at work here, the focus of the education system, the consumer brainwashing, the cost of replacement parts (ie. printer ink cartridges), (in REAL terms) what many new complex items cost today vs. in the past (way cheaper), and finally the shear complexity of many of the objects found in many peoples homes. Not too long ago everything in a normal household was repairable....and made economic sense to do so. I think once people began accepting the fact that will throw out their four year old TV or five year old computer it became a habit and an approach to everything.....throw away cars anyone? Cheers
