What is the normal life expectancy of today’s technology?
As a general rule more technology products can have an average life expecting of approximately three years. There are exceptions however. Because of accelerated technology in certain areas, better, faster, cheaper technology may cause obsolescence faster than normal. Also it depends on how long the technology has been on the market when you purchased it. For example it is now possible to purchase a PC with processor speeds between 450 and 800MHz. The 450MHz processor is at the end of it’s industry life cycle even though it may be new PC purchase for you. Thus when you bought it, it may have only two-thirds of it’s life expectancy remaining.
