All moving parts will eventually wear out.
With electronics, power surges and static electricity are killers!

Who keeps the same one long enough for anything to wear out?

I'll say software updates. I get buried with them. Windows, Word Excel etc. Adobe Lightroom, Photo Shop, Premier Pro etc. Some of it is good and makes editing, processing photos and video easier, and faster. But the learning curve as you get older gets steeper.

Batteries. My grandkids wear them out usually on the very first day they receive a new toy.

GAS usually hits long before anything wears out. What never wears out though is always the instruction manual.

The manual not wearing out caught me blindside. I'm in pain from laughing too much

Excellent point. Just what I was thinking. So many “like new”used cameras with super low shutter counts on the market. Got tired of the camera and just wanted to get another new one without learning about the old one. Very short attention spans maybe?
