| − | *When describing [[planned obsolescence]], the film claims that the processor or CPU is the part of a computer that causes it to be obsolete. It also claims that new processors are made in different shapes to prevent them from being backward-compatible with older computers. This is essentially dishonest; almost all the parts of a computer eventually become obsolete, not just the processor. Furthermore, even if new processors did physically fit into old computers, it would be extremely difficult for manufacturers to make them backward-compatible. A computer is like a single unit, and one new part can't just be installed in place of an older part, because their software capabilities (e.g. architectures, interfaces, etc. are often quite different. | + | *When describing [[planned obsolescence]], the film claims that the processor or CPU is the part of a computer that causes it to be obsolete.
