A product is considered "consumed" by the
manufacturer/retailer when it is sold - we the buyers
are consumers.
In today's "logistics" world - a product is considered sold
when it departs the manufacturer's QC
bench - so the speed of consumerism is now accelerated.
In cyber world - this type of consumerism may one day commence
from the click of your mouse!
Diabolical? Perhaps not - let us watch the scene

I,m far from a native english speaker and have no dictionarry anymore but
doesn,t the verb consume imply that something is used leaving only waste or
heat whatever?
I ,m not able to use my M3 like a photographer but still would pass it on to
the next generation .
It,s not consumed then is it?
best regards
