This article by Michael Bloch gives the reader a simple overview of what Planned Obsolescence is about, as well as tips on what people can do to change the trend of making products that doesn't last. Michael says, "In many instances, the use of inferior quality parts is not a case of the company trying to save money, but make it." All too often I have had to pay big bucks to replace parts that cost little to produce. We should all take a second look at what manufactures and big companies are doing to our consuming habits and find ways to change the way we consume and think about the products we buy.
