Christmas means presents and toys and in today’s world that means many electronic and electric gift items. Black Friday and other special deals tempt us year-round to buy new tools, toys and household items that fall in that category: cellular phones and tablets, microwave ovens, blenders, mixers, electric drills, or big-ticket items like washing-machines and refrigerators.
Of course, they need to get replaced or repaired when they break or are no longer safe to use but our lifestyles today also entice and socially pressure us to buy that latest phone or computer device upgrade long before the item is actually defunct. And, sadly, many items are intentionally not built to last or be repaired, much to my chagrin!
