I can not think of the last time a TV quit working on me. I have replaced them for other reasons, but not because they quit working. I was a little perplexed on what happen, but never gave a thought that we were accually going backward in technology, taking fairly simple and reliable technology, and building it so cheap it will not last a year.

Don't get me started. What has happened to phones is awful. The audio quality on them are very poor. Esp cell phones which are really bad. I've got an oldschool ATT trimline touchtone that I protect carefully, knowing that I can't get anything near that quality today.
