It seems like science fiction. Or impossible. Electronic equipment made today that hold 25 years running does not fit into our modern minds. In fact, a computer you buy today, possibly in a few weeks is old. The constant evolution in the computer equipment is partly responsible.

Is something that we have heard many times. Already do things like the old. Especially when something breaks down. In this case, this sentence comes to sense absolute. In a workshop in Poland continues to operate a computer with 34 years of age. If we are of the same fifth!. It best of all is that came to the workshop when this model was nine years in the market.

They say the owners of the workshop never gave a ruling. Twenty-five years of uninterrupted work. With flood included and all. Since 1990 in their job, and without any complaint. It is really something extraordinary. A computer that has suffered over the years and who continues to serve as the first day.

Current technology has been accused on several occasions of obsolescence. Our brand new computers or smartphones soon cease to be current. Through updates of software and others, a phone with more than two years already begins to suffer from aging. In fact, the life of almost any electronic device is not usually almost in no case more than 10 years.

The life of a current computer leaves much to be desired.
