Planned Obselescence is a failure of the modern design & engineering age. An enconomy based on continuous growth which fails to recognise the limits of the earth's resources and capacity for waste is partly a failure of the design industry. Designers have an ethical obligation to design products and buildings that last, not to fail. We must start changing the industry to respect posterity not obselescence.
