So now we get to make up our own definitions (which I guess was the point of that video anyway)?
I will stick with this one: 'Instilling in the buyer the desire to own something a little newer, a little better, a little sooner than is necessary.' which to me is just capitalism at work. I think every product made can be made to last for 100 years. However, I also don't think anyone would/could pay the price tag that would be needed to make/own something that lasts 100 years. So, its a trade off of how much you are willing to pay for the lifetime of the product you are buying. In the video she talks about how she felt like she was not doing her part because she had an old CRT monitor and her co-worker had a new flat screen. How is this a problem with the manufacturers? Seems to me its an issue with her self-esteem. She does not have to buy a new monitor and no one was forcing her to.
