Is Computer Technology Obsolete?
The term “planned obsolescence” originated in 1924 when General Motors head Alfred P. Sloan Jr. began a strategy of convincing car owners that they needed a new car every year.
In the 1920s, a lightbulb cartel deliberately lowered the average lifespan of a bulb to 1,000 hours in order to boost sales.
Planned obsolescence involves purposely designing products with limited useful life.
This creates huge profits because it pressures consumers to buy the latest model.
Obsolescence is a major waste of resources with its costs being extracted from the globally interlinked economy.
It is you and I who pay for it.
This applies especially to technology and to computing technologies in particular.
The acceleration of the advance of technology is making more and more of these technologies obsolete.
We live in an increasingly digital society, but the basic platforms have been obsolete for decades.
Much of the above obsolescence is planned.
What is the solution to the increasing obsolescence of technology?
Of course it’s the ExoBrain, which only evolves its increasingly greater functionality and never needs replacement.
It is you and I who will decide what will become obsolete.
Will YOU help bring the release of ExoTech closer?
