    How many electronics does a person use and own in a lifetime?

    Too vague to answer I believe. Can you narrow it down a little?

    Considering that technology is ever advancing, people are keeping up with trends, therefore replacing their old electronics with new ones. Therefore, I would like to know on average, how many electronics does one buys/own in one's lifetime.

    Are you referring specifically to Americans or Cubans or the entire planet? Is a radio considered 'electronics'? Are electronics toys and games included in this?
    It's much too vague to answer.

    The entire planet. The average human being.
    Lets just focus on computers alone.
    Considering that computers only live up to 2 years instead of 6 back in 1997.
