Yes, the "throw away" mindset is definetly here and affects most of the production markets. Stuff like old bikes, motorcycles and even cars and electronics could be fixed with the basic tools you find in almost every man's garage or shed. Now we get products of rather doubtful quality that stop working as soon as the warranty ends and are made in such a way that fixing them is not really worth it...

Indeed, planned obsolescence... engineering low quality to keep people buying more... :/

And the weird thing is that people seem to be okay with it, the throwaway mindset became a way of signaling status. Consumerism at its finest...
