I mean planned obsolescence, maybe... But data mining wasn't as profitable at the time and Facebook had just overtaken MySpace, so I would argue 2007 wasn't yet a race to the bottom in many aspects.

    Bro I was trying to get files from a friend's ipod and one album was in several different randomly assigned folders with other randomly assigned songs.

    The ads don't say any fucking info about the hardware, just dancing silhouettes and how fashionable it is.

    Now people just want to literally ask their computer "where's my passwords". This was the jumping off point.
