Good show by the way, thanks for made it...
Yes, and I think that people do not to seem to either read the instructions or take adequate care ... if something did not worked, at home we were educated to repair it, change the whatever and it kept functioning, it helps a lot to give the maintenance as it needs it, what I had observed around is that people do not care to do it anymore ... I sell my car years ago, ... the car was imported from US, it was a pickup truck, it had a little light to guide me when to change speed, the pickup truck was standard, at first I laugh, because I had driven standard all the times, latter I comprehend that it was to not force the machine and I become familiarized with the sound and the light did not appeared when I was driving it ... when I sold it to my cousin, the light pop up everytime, and he complained a lot ... no more than two years later I saw him, the "check engine" was on, and I was surprised to say the least, he did not gave the maintenance (change oil, check water, balancing tires and the kind, it needed every 50 km that it was due a year later when I sold it to him) but he did not, the pickup was making weird noises last time I saw it ....
At work we sell hair-cutting machines, every time we tell the costumer that it is quite important to read the instructions and at least apply oil to the cutting blades often ... other people kept coming to buy another one because it does not work, so they say, and sometimes they bring it ... we asked them first what it does, and we figure right away that they did not apply the oil ...
A friend change the washer machine every once and then, to which I was surprised as well, at my mother's the washer machine last 25 years, she changed it a year ago, but she still has the dryer machine ... and again with themaintenance, we use to check/clean the filter everytime it is used among other things ...
