Ain't that a bit sad, all that energy and pollution going towards planned obsolescence so that he with the shiniest toys wins? There is some legitimate utility

There is some legitimate utility derived from novelty -- I don't want to be walking around in my grandfather's battered rags either -- but I wonder if some day we can shift towards something more sustainable and less paying to dig consumerist holes then paying again to fill them back in.
- taneq 10y agoYeah, I never went in for replacing things just for the 'new car smell'. That's probably why I drive a nearly-30-year-old car. :) The point about your grandad's battered rags is that they're battered rags, though, not that they're old. His good leather jacket is probably still perfectly serviceable today.
