Let's take ourselves 20 years back:

My father had photography as his hobby, in the late 80's he somehow won the lottery and bought a Nikon SLR for RM2k.

Back then, RM2k is a big thing and SLR is of course a luxury item. He enjoys the photography and the camera only fails him only after 10 years.

Compared to the electronics nowadays, it gets outdated fast and has shorter life span.

People no longer cares if it's reliable enough cos it's always easy to change to a new one.

That makes the people less appreciative nowadays, isn't it?
