Modern Waste

in wealthy countries has never been
improved on more than with the printers
that are sold for use with the laptops,
the guts of which need constant updates
by Mr Microsoft and his friends, whose secrecy 
is a necessity for their market domination,
particularly where the market place includes
the market for criminality, a/k/a the dark web
assisting the criminality in the analogue world.

But to return to the printer itself, only the ink
sold for use in it is profitable to the manufacturer.
The machine itself is worth nothing and is designed
for it to not be recyclable, neat of design as it is.
And it quickly becomes useless when Mr Microsoft
changes the drivers it uses for the printer to work.

I look forward to seeing the first museum
of printers made redundant
by the changing of the drivers,
the mathematical nuts and bolts,
of laptops, by their manufacturers.

Most likely I'll see it at my nearest rubbish tip.
