Planned Obsolescence: Is everything indirectly a subscription?
I was talking to a dear friend and we discussed how older laptops used to last for 8- 10 years, older cellphones would last till it broke, TV S would cross 6-7 years easy, older electrical appliances ac, refrigerators would just not die out compared to newer models which now last for maybe 4-5 years and start troubling so much that you go and buy a new one.

A less obvious scar, concealed by his hair, runs along the left side of his head.
They serve as daily reminders of the attack which nearly killed him, and took away all of his hopes and dreams.
