Once upon a time products were made to last. Then, at the beginning of the 1920s, a group of businessmen were struck by the following insight: “A product that refuses to wear out is a tragedy of business” (1928). Thus Planned Obsolescence was born. Shortly after, the first worldwide cartel was set up expressly to reduce the life span of the incandescent light bulb, a symbol for innovation and bright new ideas, and the first official victim of Planned Obsolescence. During the 1950s, with the birth of the consumer society, the concept took on a whole new meaning, as explained by flamboyant designer Brooks Stevens: “Planned Obsolescence, the desire to own something a little newer, a little better, a little sooner than is necessary…”. The growth society flourished, everybody had everything, the waste was piling up (preferably far away in illegal dumps in the Third World) – until consumers started rebelling.

You know that being a smug ass hole never goes over well IN REAL LIFE don’t you? Then why did you think I would go over well on the internet (in the safety and anonymity of your computer, or little device or whatever, I might add). Even if you were right, which I think was the case, it still doesn’t give you the excuse to blatantly attack someone who was only trying to help.

Thumbs up to both Carlos Gomes and Julian. Though…
@Julian, the way you attack him when he wasn’t being so aggressive in the first place, kinds of ruins your credibility and message…
Peace people! <3 We're all empathetic, sincere truth seekers yay!

How quick these sites become a slagging off match.
This is the real problem with this world, we don’t fundamentally love our fellow man.
We put importance on being right, EGO’s out of control, we are FUCKED
