Cynical me says this is a good way to get people off their ‘old crap’ and update/buy new as WE are not going to waste our time protecting the older models.

Way back when ‘they’ invented the bugs, ‘we’ were told that there was no way certain things could be tracked so don’t worry about the ‘government’ tracking you and there is no way we can find all those students who overstayed their visas.

A ‘bug’ popped up and within 24 hours it was traced to a seedy hotel in a Manila suburb.

A cow in Montana was suspected of having ‘Mad Cow Disease’ and within 24 hours they had a print out of the cows lineage back to his great great great great grandfather.

It was called ‘planned obsolescent’ back in the day.
And don’t worry. No matter how cynical you get,
it will never be enough.
