Light bulb conspiracy

The light bulb film we've watched during class, mainly talks about plan obsolescence, it's impact, consequences, and many other things about this plan.

Plan obsolescence, is the degradation of products,in order to make consumers buy more, and make more profits.

In the film, the main example in which plan obsolescence is present, are light bulbs. The story about light bulbs is like most of all the products stories victims of planobsolescence. Every single person, that worked in the light bulb industries, worked for the creation of a resistant and good light bulb. At first light bulbs worked fine, and were a success. After the U.S realized, money was east to find, they started making some rules, and publishing some cartels. The awful truth was that the government and the power, in order to gain money, asked every light bulb company to create bad quality light bulbs. Now a days, things remain the same, we continue to buy bad quality stuff, to buy more things in less time, creating more contamination, and the most important thing for everyone, money.
