It is not just people who grow old, even things do. When we use certain objects regularly for a long period of time, they are bound to suffer wear and tear. These might be the simplest of everyday things – that coffee mug in your kitchen, the mousepad in your office, or the doorbell of your house. If you have been using them for an extended period of time and haven’t really observed them closely in a while, then try and do so now. You will certainly notice obvious signs of them being worn out.

There are innumerable items around us that bear the signs of having weathered the storm of age. Even supposedly indestructible things do at times get worn down. Here is a collection of some truly fascinating and profound pictures of things that show how time affects every single thing in the world.
