How much has the best razor blades and why broken machines

About three months ago, my cell phone is dead, having served a total of about 1, 5 years. He died suddenly and completely - the next morning, the bell alarm and the phone was found in the state of deep coma. A black screen, the buttons zero reaction generally arrived. A brief inspection of the service center revealed that burned down the main board and the repair cost will be comparable to the cost of similar new phone. Scored I bought new.

Just yesterday, talking to my sister - she, too, died a few days ago a similar phone model. He worked for one year and two months. I'm not particularly upset - I use your phone active for 2-3 hours a day in touch with the attitude as consumables - beat dropped to 10 times a day on asphalt, bags and purses, I do all sorts of hate - or dragged in the pocket of jeans or jacket.

But that's me. Sister also blows away dust particles from electronics - carried in a case, used for 20-30 minutes per day, did not allow a single injury. And the result is the same - the difference in a few months the phone came kirdyk.

How can you not believe in global conspiracy manufacturers - the aging of things planned.

What is the planned aging?

In the narrow-minded level, we often say that well, how? In the space of the summer, but particularly strong tights, which would not be rushed, can not do. Or automobiles or appliances. Why do almost all things are broken and fail not earlier not later, and after the warranty period?

Things with a huge lifetime working for 10-15 years - is the worst nightmare for a modern economy, which is based on a constant increase in demand. Can you imagine, for example, a manufacturer of washing machines, which sells, say, 100, 000 units, and then goes to 10 years on holiday, because more is no demand.

The basis of the planned aging, principled approach to the design and manufacture of new products, providing for wear and damage shortly after the end of the warranty period. That is, in fact, is one department of the company is working on a new product, specialists in another test was carried out and customize technology to sample was not too durable and lived just long enough on the one hand, not stained the reputation of the company, on the other - to provide New orders in the future.

There are product categories where the use of the planned aging less relevant - such as computers - there is a question of technical obsolescence, no one wants to use the old slow computer. But other devices - such as printers - only forward. Even if in a few years, your printer is not bent, the service center will tell you for sure that the parts for this model is no longer manufactured and offered to buy the new.

In some cases there is a delayed aging. A striking example - the razor Gillette - every year or two, the company adds Blade - is it really so revolutionary progress, and why did not do a razor with 5 blades 10 years ago?

How does it work?

Remember the story about how in the twentieth century, many things handed down from parents to children? Whether it's shoes, a watch or a car? Now we perceive it as a sign of extreme poverty, when in fact we're just projecting current level of quality items at the time.But how can you imagine that you will leave to his son his Toyota Camry 15-20 years, there will be from her? < br />
If we talk about cars, it is still 70-80 years, many foreign cars easily wound to 1 million kilometers, and now has become an unofficial industry standard engine life 150-200 000 km.

At the level of rumors there are a lot of assumptions that many sensational discoveries in a number of industries have long been made - whether it's tear-resistant tights or eternal light (about it later). But at an early stage corporations producing redeem such research ... and clean the table. Discovery of the business needs as they allow you to extract more profit rather than kill the market.

Doubt?

There is an example of modern and not very planes that can fly for 20 hours a day for 20 years to develop the resource and with due care not to break. So where does such a reliable technology in other industries?

What to do?

Firstly, it should be understood that the low price of many commodities is based precisely on limited resources - the low price on the one hand, due to the poor quality of materials, and on the other hand, you seem to get a discount, because the manufacturer knows that you come back for the same goods through year.

Secondly, do not believe their eyes and certified sellers - trust only period of guarantee - if two similar products really different quality, the manufacturer will provide a more reliable for certain longer. Most warranty = reliability - will not be the same manufacturer currently applied direct losses.

Eternal light

One of the oldest bulbs were installed in 1911 in the United States in the city of Livermore and since then has been operating for over 100 years. Its capacity of 4 volts, it is hanging in the garage of the fire station. Probably, it is the only lamp which has its own site on the Internet. See the light bulb can be via webcam. Jolly fact is that since a few years ago was put webcam, twice she broke down and had to change it. A light stays on all ...
