No, it is just that many new things, like subway cars, and locomotives, aren't built as well as the older ones. I am sure you heard the saying "they don't build them like they used to". And that is referring to longevity. New things don't last as long as older things. Too much plastic used where it shouldn't be, very buggy, and sensitive electronics...Heck, even new cell phones are junk compared to old ones. The original Nokias lasted YEARS...now, after a few years, cell phones start going to the chit, and the batteries are worthless. Cell phones these days have become more like fashion statements that useful things, and the companies must spend more time designing the outer case than the inside electronics. It is actually a problem within our society, and materialism, that stimulates such things to occur. |
