  3. Becoming obsolete will always happen; why ? simple... the indecandescent lightbulk became more and more obsolete due to TL type of lights and the developement of the LED for example. Making something close to perfect (which is never possible) stimulates producers to even make better & more ingenious stuff. And no matter how perfect objects may be made... they will in the end always break. Granted it may take longer periods of time that is true, but better make some thing durable than you have more time to research new even better stuff. But the planned obsoleteness is just a sign and shows us the reality of profit minded people instead of durability environmental minded people. profit minded people dont care about the health of our planet they only care about their own big time wallets. so basically it is the profit minded industry that is to blame for the environmental issues we currently have. These producers who are profit minded need to be banned and replaced by durable minded producers; we have a planet to save from polluting. BUT there is a downside: Products that are durable are MORE expensive, but they last longer. We can thus see that poluting of the planet is caused by production/profit minded people. It also means more jobs in the R&D field. More people who think of new & better stuff on a continuous basis. I go for durability. No shops like IKEA for me... thats a cheap & a polluting way of living in the long run. And we see that the environmental issues are piling up and in the end cost MORE than tackling that problemn right from the beginning by minimizing the polluting ways of production. Durability is a new market.

  4.  @oop483  no we cannot do without some kapitalism like way of doing, but it needs to be transformed back to a more durable sustainable way of producing and longer lasting products.... the LED's are a great example for that. By producing more durable we pollute our planet less and in the end more cheaper... since the pollution of our enevironment costs more than anticipated The kapitalistic compagnies MUST be held responsible for polluting the world based on this planned obsoleness way of production and THUS forcing them to become more aware of the evil world wide consequences of producing in planned obsoleteness ways.

  6.  @rd3k3k3k3  It is used as an argument by the producers of course... not of the common people.
