The Light Bulb Conspiracy involves investigative research and rare archive footage to trace the untold story of planned obsolescence, right from its beginnings in the 1920s with a secret cartel, set up expressly to limit the life span of light bulbs, to modern day stories involving cutting edge electronics (such as the iPod) and the growing spirit of resistance amongst ordinary consumers.
This documentary examines how companies undertake planned obsolescence, which is the deliberate shortening of product life spans. This as the movie argues is done to guarantee consumer demand.
We have been and ARE being ripped-off in sooo many ways; Thanks for the uploads on this.
