    Once upon a time, updating your hardware every couple of years was essential. Your new hardware was a lot faster for normal use, and everyone benefitted.

    Over time, however, people could wait longer between updates, as new hardware didn’t impact daily use all that much.

    The powers that were grew displeased, and then decided to force people to update more often. Newer hardware had shorter lifespans, software forced newer hardware, software as a service became king.

    The End?

        That story isn’t written… yet. The future can be changed, if enough people drive that change (valve is working wonders here).
