I buy fluorecent bulbs from the dollar store for a dollar. They last 1-3 years typically. So I am making more toxic trash that gets tossed at some store but I spend less on electricity.
I agree that we are constantly making less reliable technology, even landline phones are less reliable, whether I have cordless or corded phones they only last about a year before they fail, also the landline phones have as much static as the cellphones have cut outs.
Ah well
