<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 3583856, member: 76194&quot;]You&#039;d be surprised....while it is true that Apple had a bit of a cult following amongst the more tech inclined...the backlash at this consumerist cult is also real. Apple is no longer the #1 operating system even here in the US amongst smartphones anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>At any rate, tech is a little different than old tables and desks, and other antiques. For a highly mobile society that&#039;s constantly changing jobs and place of residence, a smartphone is not the same as it is an item that&#039;s always with you. But millennials have rejected a lot of things that used to be considered valuable and collectable by older generations....that much remains true. I&#039;d you look at Antiques Roadshow, a popular antiques program in the US, they&#039;ve revised a ton of their old episodes with new pricing, and in almost all cases the antiques are down 40% or more in price than they were a decade and a half ago. Just about the only thing that&#039;s still doing well is mid-century modern furniture, which continues to be popular for it&#039;s simplicity and portability.&nbsp; Most millennials don&#039;t want to be dragging around their parent&#039;s old antique desks and cabinets as they move to their third or fourth home for yet another <strike>permanent </strike>temporary job. Plus the way we live has changed...with the open floor plan being dominant in homes today, formal dining sets, living rooms sets, etc., no linger fits the simpler/more open setting in most homes today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
