It makes me a bit sad to know that all of my current electronic gadgets for eg biking are fundamentally doomed, because they're little computers with flash storage and LiIon batteries, both of which wear out. I will not be using my current GPS unit in ten or twenty years, no matter how much I like it. Hopefully I will still be using the bike it's currently attached to.

(My commuting GPS unit has actually lasted almost ten years so far and it isn't dead yet, but. It probably won't make twenty.)
