How products become quickly obsolete?
Alternatives to minimize these fails
Small The companies, when making the small
changes in changes in the electronic devices, are
devices proposing to the society to buy the new
devices with new designs (color, size, etc.) and
people buy that new device no matter the
previous one they had in use, thus, generating
more e-waste (thus, people throw away the
previous one).
Hardware The hardware failures happens because the
failures companies reduce the operating time of the
devices to be damaged faster, thus allowing
people to find another electronic device with
which they can use until it is also damaged,
this is a new strategy of the companies to win
more money, but it can be said that this
generates a great environmental pollution,
affecting society.
New The new technology that the companies
technology create, is damaging our society, first, because
in the creation process the companies put
more toxic substances to the electronic
devices, so, when people throw away this
product, it will affect in a massive way our
environment. Second, the society, always
going to choose the new devices, and
probably is going to throw away the previous
device (it doesn’t matter if it still function).
Disposable When the companies make the disposable
technology technology, it means that they are design for
dump, because they are create to be thrown
away, provoking e waste.
Can’t change The problem is that the companies can´t
components change the components because they prefer
to stay with the old components, that with the
product of it, it gives many monetary
resources
Software When the electronic device request you to
upgrades actualize the new software, sometimes it fails
and damage you electronic device, so you
would need to buy another one, generating
consumerism and e waste.
One solution could be to make the
society knows that they don’t need
to consume every time the
companies create a new device,
because it will affect all society’s
health provoking sickness.
The solution could be that the
companies make the electronic
devices to last more time, so it will no
provoke the consumerism and the
contamination of our natural
resources.
The companies will create new
technology, with more efficient
services, but at the time, with
ecological materials that will not
affect in a massive way our
environment.
The companies could make
technology designed to last and with
more recyclable resources, so when
they got damaged, they can be
reused.
That the companies change the toxic
components, and use the ones that
are not too toxic for our environment
or to innovate the old ones,
becoming better for the society.
The companies could create the
devices with a permanent software,
that wouldn´t need actualizations, so
it will not be damged.
