In consumption, people
consume more than they should, maybe because of planned obsolescence and
perceived obsolescence. Some machines are designed to be broken after few
months after people buy it, so they have to replace it with a new machine. For
example, computers, they make new computers every year, they just change a
small thing in the computer that makes computers faster. And the problem here that
they make new shape every version so you can’t just replace that small part of
the computer, you have to buy a new computer. And don’t forget, women’s shoe
heels too. “While more stuff doesn’t bring happiness, we know what does: family
time, health, community, collective action towards shared goals”
(StoryOfStuff,2007) and that’s true we don’t spend more time with our family
because we waste our time on shopping.
