The phenomenon you are describing is called "planned obsolescence", which LEAD to "cyclical consumption".
I miss products from the 1950's that were made to last. Although they are worse on energy consumption, they're generally super durable - like blenders, vacuum cleaners, etc. I grew up in a household where we still had these items some 50 years later, all in perfect working condition.
too true! my mom had a vitamin for over 20 years and after she passed away I sold it at yard sale for $50--it was probably good for another 5-10 years. I've had mine for 5 years and no hint of problems-I paid $500 with a 10 year warranty
the main area I see this applying to is clothing-there are so many cheap clothes that do not even last until the next season because of shoddy quality. It is one of the reasons why I picked the particular retail store I work at, because the clothing was better made and the store has a lifetime !! warranty on all of its products.
The good side of branding is quality , that's why we value brands so much but it can also affect us in ways such as materialism. It's good to buy yourself nice things , especially ones that you need but getting caught up in the materialism side is the messed up part.
But the reason why Germany lost and the Allied won because Allied has a fuck ton of equipments
Kristian Niss you're right!! my bad
Unless the item is not an aircraft, spacecraft, submarine or an artificial organ, quantity is better.
Nowadays most of the products that we buy have an expiration date decided by the engineers that design and produce it. So, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me to buy a 500 $ vitamix or a 1000/2000 $ bicycle.
But I agree wuth what you said about repairing stuff ither than throwing it away and buying a new one.
Ana Kotorri absolutely agree with ya :)
Excellent video! I'm heading to Mississauga, ON for a little vacation tomorrow and this video reminds me to curb my shopping ;) I don't normally shop, but going to a new country I could go a little wild, even for me ;) Thank you!
if you need it, then definitely get it but don't go too crazy ;)
agree, totally... if u just buy something cheap to eat all the time it kinda means you do not worth it
absolutely :)
Thank you, good video
cheers Marcella!
I see you have ear piercings and pictures on the wall. Are you a real minimalist?
