“Prêt à jeter”: quand la nostalgie industrielle devient complotisme » OWNI, News, Augmented
Tentant d'exposer les fondements de l'obsolescence programmée, le documentaire Prêt à jeter ignore selon Econoclaste des principes industriels de base... et verse dans une parano malsaine.Planned obsolescence or built-in obsolescence [ 1 ] in industrial design is a policy of planning or designing a product with a limited useful life, so it will become obsolete , that is, unfashionable or no longer functional after a certain period of time. [ 1 ] Planned obsolescence has potential benefits for a producer because to obtain continuing use of the product the consumer is under pressure to purchase again, whether from the same manufacturer (a replacement part or a newer model), or from a competitor which might also rely on planned obsolescence.
