Something I think people fail to realize is that everything has an expiration date and a best-by date, not just food. Now, I do not necessarily agree with the notion that the second a best-by date or expiration date has come that the item is bad and needs to be tossed, I do however agree that depending on the circumstance you may have to consider getting a new item to utilize.
For foods, it is very clear that if an item is past its bet-by date, you could possibly get sick from eating it. For makeup products that have been opened and used for longer than the recommended period of time, there could be bacteria that you are embedding into your pores. For items that are sealed and deemed sterile, the seal could be deteriorating and bacteria could be forming or the container could be contaminating the item.
Car parts get exposed to the elements and begin to rust and deteriorate. Batteries get charged and uncharged repeatedly and consequently hold less and less of a charge. Screens replay information on them until their pixels burn out. Clothes hold and cover things until the threads wear thin.
Everything has a lifespan.
And this doesn't even begin to touch base on how technology moves at a rapid pace and outdates itself before it can even become worn down. You end up needing to replace items not just because you consistently use them and wear them out but because they can no longer be updated through patches and you need to get a newer system that can handle the new internal schematics being sent out.
