| Very interesting. Documentary on planned obsolescence. We all fall into its trap.
Search for it on Utoob, seems censorship in the UK is on red alert..... 
=#FF0000No, it was explained politely enough that you are not allowed to post direct links to YouTube unless you can demonstrate ownership of the item you are linking to. I also pointed out that there is no issue in explaining what the item is and where it can be found. Wanderer. |

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.

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. |

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). |
