thanks to JJ Rage I heard this new song from Lupe but his stuff always goes over my Head so I had to google some of his Lyrics and = mind blown

Do companies really sell Bad products so u have to Keep getting new ones? He used planned obsolescence in one of his bars and I looked it up and thats What it is. My iphones always Break so I was like they dont know how To make a good phone because Apple used to suck I think. but Now that I think about it Its pretty smart if they made Bad phones on purpose cuz I will only by iphones Now cuz thats what Im used to. There was also a lot of other references in his raps to stuff I didnt know About or learn in history my junior year Especially with what America did to Indians and stuff like That. I dunno maybe he was just like Making it up cuz rap is entertainment too I think and maybe he was Trying to like shock value or something
 
I have no idea who that artist is, however, I'm huge proponent of actually reading the lyrics (or understanding the lyrics) of music one listens too.

Planned obsolescence is a very real thing in my opinion. I don't have any hard evidence, but it makes sense for companies to design products to last just beyond the warranty period. This is especially true with phones. The manufacturers know most people can upgrade their phone through their service provider every 2 years, so that's about how long they make their phones to last.

I used to be able to fix the old headphones easily when I was a child, you know the simple cuprous ones. You just would find the broken segment of the cable, cut it and simply tie then. But for the last 5-10 years you cannot do that because they make some kind of paint on the very thin cable and you cant fix it once it's broken so you have to buy a new one or listen to the single side until it's completely broken down.

For the higher technological devices, it's a no secret. They don't make the best device with the best features and stability so you have to upgrade it, even if it's not broken. Some say they do this because of the cost, but it's not true at all. As an electric-electronics engineer I can say, the costs of the most of the devices are soo well under the sale prices.

I think it's basically the capitalism.

Bingo. Absolutely agree.
 
Capitalism would scare any company out of building crap if another company came around and developed a reputation for building high quality, long lasting products for the same price. Also, if it's capitalism that causes crappy products to be built I'd like to order one of those super long lasting Soviet era cars that have been the envy of capitalist laborers/slaves. Alternatives to capitalism must produce some wonderful things that we in the backwards capitalist nations can only dream of.
