| 52 minutes!!!! Can you summarise it please?

Quote: Richie "52 minutes!!!! Can you summarise it please?'" Summary - an agenda to rip people off.

Planned obsolescence is built into just about every manufactured item. It's nothing new. If products don't become obsolete, then there is little incentive to buy replacements for that item. I do wonder how many people who moan about planned obsolescence have iPhones, for instance.

I agree, I too have been caught in its trap, but I dont own an iphone.

I was talking to JFK about this on the moon on 9/11.

Quote: Chris28 "I was talking to JFK about this on the moon on 9/11.'" That's a bit of a coincidence. I was there having a chin-wag with Elvis the same day - just by that London bus.

Spot on. No-one makes people buy their stuff, it's not compulsory.

Quote: El Barbudo "Spot on. No-one makes people buy their stuff, it's not compulsory.'" Well you say that - and largely you're absolutely correct - but where I'd make a more nuanced comment is that most of consider that we have little choice but to own/buy a fridge or a washing machine. A mobile is one thing - those are very different (as I have just found out, to my expense).

Quote: Mintball "Well you say that - and largely you're absolutely correct - but where I'd make a more nuanced comment is that most of consider that we have little choice but to own/buy a fridge or a washing machine. '" But you do have a choice of a very large number of both manufacturers and sellers.

you do indeed, but they all play the same game. Look back to when you were younger - how long did your parents or grandparents white goods last? I know my gran had a fridge bought in the 1940s that was still working in the 80s. Do you really expect yours to last that long? I don't. It's the same with most products these days - cars, phones, computers; they all seem to have shorter lifespans than they did years ago. Surely that's the wrong way round?

The one exception there is cars, compared to 30 years ago cars will last much, much longer now, take a look around on the roads tomorrow and see how many 02 plates you can spot, those are ten year old cars and they are still passing MOT inspections and you will be hard pressed to see any rust marks on any of them - a ten year old car in the 1970s or even 80s was the one sat at the bottom of the pile of cars in the scrapyard.
