Programed Obsolescence

Programmed obsolescence is the determination or programming of the end of usefulness of a product, so that after a period of time calculated by the manufacturer or by the company during the design phase of the product, it changes in a, useless or unusable product. The Programmed obsolescence  function is to pay the consumer two or more times through degradable products or, conversely, "junk products". The updating generated by addiction relationships results in longer economic periods for companies or manufacturers.

 The potential for programmed obsolescence is considerable and quantifiable. It is highly beneficial for the manufacturer, because at some point the product will fail and oblige the consumer to buy a new product.
 
For industry, this attitude positively stimulates the consumers to buy new products in an artificially accelerated fashion if they wish to continue to use them.
