<<And the consumer market is driven to buy these items because they think there will be something better to replace it with when that item wears out. (IMO cars have fallen into this area too.) >>
I figure they buy the cheap stuff because - even a $10.00 digital clock will keep precise time so who needs a $500 one? Let's face it, electronic clocks are not typical junk merch i.e. that lasts a year and you throw out like small tvs are now. These clocks run forever if you just keep changing the battery. I think the only way one of my digital clocks will ever quit is if I stomp on it.
