In any store you go you can find a cash register, probably, considering the giant commerce step industry lately based mainly on the internet, not for long, in a few decades to find a "physical" store, it could turn out to be very tough.
An alternative scenario, as regards the commercial world, which could occur sooner than expected. I think that antiquity has a style and a class that have nothing to do with modern ones, despite the appealing shapes that distinguish the new generations and can be considered an avant-garde evolution that has put its own brand on a new era . A comparison between past and future, neither of them can come out as a winner, it is a matter of tastes and different points of view, absolutely indisputable.
The usefulness and durability of objects is another important point to keep in mind, if we think that the subjects of the photos in this article have been intact and functioning for many years, so it may not be with regards to those of the latest generation, the which are specifically designed to have a precise duration and fuel the consumerism that is gripping modern society. A small example is represented in this last picture, where the filament of the bulb was much more resistant than that of the next generation and its duration is estimated in thousands of hours. Now we have energy-saving bulbs, but we are sure that if we compare the duration with those of the past, we will save our money as well as energy? Energy saving is certainly important, but if we fill the landfills with objects destined to end up in a few months or years, we are faced with another serious problem.
