the population bomb,, explosion

plant in Copenhagen that put carbon in ground – documentary “Home” sells energy back to grid by capturing methane from landfills – this is just a less bad, trying to make up for a broken system, but a step in the right direction by at least canceling out footprint.

Biodegradable is a material property, not a benefit. It can only be net zero. Products that could fertilize and give back. Examine Eban Bayers Ecovative and Mushrooms. We have bought into greenwashing, surface materials from recycled and downcycled paterials. Aluminum and other metal ores comining different types to create less quality material. Entropy and the 2nd law of thermodynamics- disorder and breakdown over time. Diminishing quality. Can be counteracted by creating closed loop systems and cyclical development where replenishment is inherent in the system, inspired by nature and ecosystems. This is all well and good but the technical challenges to get to this may be insurmountable. If we are to change, there must be a change in our wasteful mindsets.
 * upcycling in design – **percentage less toxic. Get out of the game of mesurements and quantification of impact. We must instead look to mesure benefit and if these benchmarks are nonexistent, the product under examination must be redesigned or the system itself through an integrative design approach. Reducing cost and providing benefit thought its succession. Material packaging safe enough to eat and prodide consumers with nutrients. Start with the value and not reduce but entirely eliminate the harm. Continuous testing and analysis to rate and rank chemicals and materials to understand their impact and improve those resources which we use in our products. Chemical

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Paper Abstract


 * Interview with Burt there needs to some delay **
 * The way we’re going about in the world where we take from the earth and make things, use them for a little while and then throw them way is really just crazy and is not going to continue. We (studio students) will be the ones to make this change. We are screwing up the one planet that we like on. **
 * ** Compromise in design to meet different demands and satisfy different users **
 * ** Concept: one conclusion or recommendation I will come to is to propose a different strategy behind product design. There are so many elements that go into the design of products and it is a very complex system that is different for every product. I propose we slow down **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Planned obsolescence is the intentional design of objects to fail or become unusable after a certain point. Under such a system, products are designed to lose their function after a certain period of time. Under most circumstances, this is disadvantageous to consumers because they have to go buy another of that particular object; however, there are many circumstances where this is beneficial. Through a number of case studies where the necessity of planned obsolescence is analyzed as well as an examination into what the future of planned obsolescence could be within our existing global market place or perhaps even an entirely new one. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The aim if this project is to examine planned obsolescence’s place in driving and assisting further innovation in consumer markets. The primary question being addressed is to what extend is planned obsolescence necessary <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Design foe Disassembly <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> Upgrades within a core system <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Repairable items and replacement parts <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Reverse compatibility of software and even hardware. Look at apple’s new charger from 4 to 5. When the IPhone 5 was brought to market in 2012, this hardware upgrade initiated a shift in forced on phone accessory industry. Suddenly the stage is set for the complete adoption within a few years. Eventually, Apple will stop selling older chargers. Software can accelerate this process due to the lack of physical barriers prenect with hardware.

These strategies line up well with Lynelle Cameron’s campaign for a Design-led Revolution led by Autodesk. Collaborating with nonprofit design firms and product design consultancies. using open collaborations. Engineers Without borders. Digital fabrication allows for manufacturing at low quantities, extremely fast and increasingly cheap. Cloud computing and Big data anylitics- can be used to help figure out what costomers want and need. Conjoint analysis, a method used for determining consumer’s preferences through behavioral analysis and independent of users’ needs to articulate their needs, before actually developing a product. Analytics can further applied to actual consumer products simplifying complexity and Social Commerce- creates sales channels Merging the once separate worlds of engineering and design. The traditional right and left brains into an all-encompassing profession. This is what the DIS program at RPI encompasses and there are many others universities and design institutions that are starting to see this as the future. Skill specialization Higher value must be placed on Good design engineers who are environmentally conscious and skilled in the tools and methods and knowledge base for creating good design. This could come in the form of sustainability bonuses if we are still thinking within the confines of business. We are seeing a trend now for Cloud based design tools allow designers and engineers to collaborate on the distributed development of physical products. All-encompassing product design ecosystem where data can inform design decisions This is a movement toward a more designer sustainability continues industry of young designers and engineers. You don’t need extra stuff.
 * Emerging technologies:**

We are designing and redesigning our world at a staggering rate but it can be argued that it is not the speed of innovation (what we perceive as progress and growth) but the direction and impact of out technological change. The challenges we will face are incredibly daunting but not insurmountable. Arise eith the challenges achieving and sustaining quality living for humanity. We are in a race with time and our pace of technological advancement must if we are to realize planetary abundance and prosperity. The global and local ecosystems and the interconnections of all facets of our environment are extremely complex and may never be fully understood and therefore, we can’t fully predict the consequences of our activity. for humanity is to thrive, national boundaries, financial institutions and cultural difference must be transcended and a global initiative We need to take a step back and find a way for all to live sustainably Design must be at the forfront of change whether gradual transition Living within the constraints of the earth.

The only true way to do this is by looking at resources used and energy consumption in production and transportation. If these costs were factored into every product manufactured, there would be great incentive to produce locally and sustainably and to manufacture products that last as long as possible.”

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">What’s Up? **


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Products will be designed not to become obsolete but designed with the knowledge that they inevitably will become obsolete. Upgradability, future materials, infinite comtuting power and functionality of modular, recycleable and sustainable circuits.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">In a waste based society, products will cause problems, but product can become something new if they are made to reintegrate with nature, as netrients.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Many believe that reforming production is not enough. They believe we must rething our values and entire economic system. True revolution requires social change, a paradigm shift and change in mentality. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Degrown <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;"> (

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">A shift from products made to break to products make to continuously evolve and upgrade. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I believe sutainability can be achieved through better design for life cycle. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Keep in mind compromise in functionality with decreasing quality of features <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Idea of elegance, minimalism, simplicity of design,,, compact electronics design works against compartmental updradeable modular design. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Idea that consumers can pay for only the functionality they need with a modular design and that

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">3D printing and reducing waste
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Delema of personalization and attachment and ownership of products to last. My insight, for products capable of being designed to last, there some things get better with time.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Rethinking the engineering, design and production of consumer goods. C2C design. Imagining if factories were more like nature. Natural process of cycling materials and energy. “Environmentalism is linked to saving, reduction, and zero waste, but nature saves nothing. Everything is used.” Abundance becomes nutrients. Change to biodegradable materials.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Codes as limits to sustainable innovation and a tool for change
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">C2C, biological nutrients – products are consumed in fulfilling their intended use. Ex: shampoo, food, it is processed and enters the environment though the water or air and serves as nutrients to create new recourses. Technical nutrients are not consumed but used or barrowed. Provide a function. Bionutrience project demonstrated social economic and environmental aspects.

 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Electronic waste dumpsites in Gana and around the world in third world countries.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Idea of fixing broken things, reguarless of complexity
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Transcribe YouTube videos and documentaries
 * <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Growth society <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">- not growth to meet demand but growth for the sake of growth justified through boundless consumption. The three factors of growth society are advertising, planned obsolescence, and credit. Infinite growth is not consistent with a finite planet. “With this growth society, we are sitting in a racing car that no longer has a driver, running at full speed… that will soon crash into a wall or run off a cliff.”
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Materialism and buying what we don’t need with money we don’t have
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Product life-cycle
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Consumerism is not all bad and there are many basic products that we do need and make our lives better. A lot of the rest it makes life easier is okay to use but would be better not to own but only use when needed.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Explore the sense of ownership vs shared resources. Personal data can be owned and secured withing cloud or personal storage device. There are things that may be nessisary for us to own. Things like hygene, food and other personal things. Talk about patent writes vs open source how ownership of ideas and claiming reward for effort put in. Personalization of products.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">When I was little and built a sand castle on the beach an another kid came and started using and breaking it or taking apart my legos, my creation was destroyed but I know now that I couldn’t have kept it to myself. Share with the world through social media take a picture for it to last longer
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Talk about the sharing or company secrets and ideas for the sake of progress over profit. I understand they all want the advantage but if we were to change to a resource based system where none of the profit mattered, then imagine all the hared seret knowledge that could boost our society forward
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Talk about ecofriendly biodegratable chip adheaasives between components.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Different societies and the need to own want you don’t need to use all the time. Give examples. … you when you lived in Copenhagen, car service and exchange, and staying in others spare rooms. This idea that we need things temporarily but idealize in our minds that we will need the function more often and that we then need to buy that object. There is a convenience factor of having something there when you need it and reducing need to plan ahead and actually owning something encourages you to use it more.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Standardization of <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Look at google’s flat company structure of paying people for their work. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Everyone have asscess to the tools that they need to contribute to society in the ways the stive for and for everyone to have the opportunities to reach their full potential. Bring up this idea after abundance vs finite planet argument. First discuss the current system how we’re all going to shit and we have to change things. While this is true, talk about technological growth that has the chance to save us. Then go into human nature as generally good and the dynamics of humanity with all out failicies. If you look at us, we are all trying to do good in some ways but there is a lot that revolves around how we are raised and how we continue to stay informed.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">This is a key point to cover, there has to be a compromise between market barriers to entry and innovation. Go into the present paradigm of startups competing with businesses with intellectual property and the cost and infrastructure that has to be funded for each individual business. Yes many manufacturing processes for specific products are highly specialized and factories are optimized to function for a specific product line. What it all injection molding machine companies made standardized molds?...
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Topic of standardization as bad and good for innovation and conclude that it is necessary but only in certain circumstances.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Streamlined patent publications of industry knowledge to understand the technology within the patent. Companies are careful not to give away the actual details of their proprietary tech.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Defending patents and large corporations taking advantage of small startups that can’t defend their technology. Knockoffs in china at a lesser quality for cheaper

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">What if patents were <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The limits to innovation far outweigh the <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Yes there are some technologies that should stay proprietary or as trade secrets for now primarily for security reasons. There are accurate instructions for how to make nuclear weapons online. A lot of this has to do with trust in humanity.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Jaque Fresco on human behavior and cultural values- “Your views of the world are largely based on the way we are raised”. Issues in cultural values of racism, violence, slavery, apathy, and wasteful consumerist mentalities are only continued through generations as children are conditioned to think like those around them. Extreme reduction in aggressive advertising promoting materialism and consumerism. TV shows are crap and commercials are brainwashing our youth. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Many argue this can be fixed though technology enabling personalized education.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The complexity of design <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Yes the ideas of cradle to cradle are all well and good there are many critiques that arise when sonsidering steps forward and the proposed methods of action. It is necessary to conduct a critical review of both his first work and <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Start with the ideal and make a series of comprimises.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Manufacturing practicalities and user experienceImagine if we were to rething

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">I argue that what every we come up with will be a combination of sutainabilitiy ideas collectively formulated by. Some attempt to design for different stakeholders but this is looking too short term. It is hard for us to imagine a world without violence, hunger, starvation, famine, poverty, inequality, racism, and hate. This is the only world we have ever known. If Look to the

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Teams funded by industries <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The real benefit of these Design Olympics is not just in the designs that result from the set challenges but, in the message and awareness that a brighter future of greater prosperity and meaningful living for is achievable. Through global media coverage and national engagement in an exciting annual competition follows design teams but encourages active contribution and design feedback that, if able to witness what a humanity is capable of creating, mind our youth could be inspired to achieve

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">This could be the model we are looking for <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Idealized design stars… we will make these types of professions cool and inspire lasting change.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Criticize the actual innovations coming out of quirky but commend them for their vision for making invention accessible.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Global knowledge base where

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Think of the time and energy saved if companies didn’t have to design around and <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Argument that design arrounds encourage iterative improvement and where products are intduced using different technology to accomplish the same functions. This isn’ t good that consumers now have to choose so many things with similar fetures and capabilities but it is good for them in that they benefit from cost competition between companies. It can be argued that the patents encourage companies to design better than competition rather than just licensing. …….

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">But what if the incentive for market dominance was dependent on sustainability?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Coevolution of tech and humankind

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Startups and tech development through universitiesd inspireing entrepenurial spirit and drive for innovation. Silicone valley and MIT leading this hitech startup boom. MIT media lab where they live in the future. Cyborge collective. How can we get these ideas out into the world faster? Cutting edge projects. <span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Think about a startup and the investor model, they are taking the manufacturing risk. Grow and develop to commercially viable technologies. This incubation stage <span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Tech like google glass as gone thro How must creative culture change in an interconnected environment. Making connections and leveraging different ideas, networking and collaborating toward common goals with likeminded, passionate and inspired people. Respect and acknowledgement of accomplishments is what motivated most on the cutting edge. We live in global social network and we have only begun to realize the limitless potential our information age has for accelerating innovation and technological advancement. Interdisciplinary collaboration is a necessity for new ideas and ways of approaching and solving big problems. <span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Dynamic flow of information and within networks and complexity

<span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Steady state outcomes and individual centric thinking

<span style="color: #17365d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Social physics – growth processes within networks

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Nationally sponsored design challenges and global events. Propose a Design Olympics where small teams compete quality with either projects or design challenges. An object is designed <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The team can then be helped by anyone in their country on a deisgn collaboration network. Collective effort to bring about the best ideas from each nation. Just as the Cross cultural collaboration. Proposals like design a frefrigerator with a net positive impact that eliminates food waste. Ambitious goals. Global discussions about ambitios yet tangible products. Design a car that will last for 100 years yet modular with and self-cleaning and smart to maintain itself and alert users. A car that can drive itself and will never crash. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Just like events, you can have different design categories like architecture, transportation, urban planning, renewable energy, biotechnology, nanotech and more. but sustainability and innovation must be the foremost criteria. We need be stimulating glabal exchange of ideas. Input from leading industries

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Less bad is not good enough

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Capability vs usability balance – lifetime value <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Specialized products (proposed by fatigue article) can be combined with the idea of standardization and modularity where a consistent hardware platform can support as many features as the user needs or is willing to pay for. If users choose that a function isn’t needed after testing it out, they should be able to return it to the supplier or manufacturer for redistribution. There are allways exmaples of products with this goal that don’t always go as plan. Take for example the go pro and all its accessories. Users can then chose to take features out or add more. This however adds to the complexity of choice

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Examine Go Pro camera system. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Companies provide comparison charts of what their new version of the product offeres compared to their old one where various features functions and capabilities are listed and compared. There companies are actually showing you their progress and from this you can project when the next update will be. Companies usually stick to a product introduction plan. Take lego for example. Lego introduces a series of sets for a given theme of lego in annually bith a summer and winter introduction. In a way lego stands as a great model for what could be in terms of modularity but they still have room for change. The should be commended for their factory automation and efficiency that yield incredible part quality and consistency. <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Look up lego percidion, quality, tooling error stats and so on. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">However they need to offer individual part replacement, unique parts and customized interst. A lot is happening with lego that is good that can be emulated globally within current systems. Yes the used perceived obsolescence and advertising is done for them by licensing movies and popular culcure stuff to target children. But look at the community and fans AFOL global forums and creative collections and blog spaces where creative create and share their creations. Brick link is aftermarket to buy individual needs and rare parts or sets. This is moving tward localized/focused example of collective consumption. Ebay for lego. This model doest fit lego’s bussness model. Sell in sets at fixed cost. They have achieved effective starndardized building system with modularity that enables limitless. Ans the ABS plastic parts last for generations to inspire creativity and hands on learning in youth. Rare parts become more valuable and are highly valued as collectable. Great brand loyalty but need to work on sutainability and brand image

Designing for everyone is not an effective design strategy because the more people design for, the more diversified their needs and the less likely. Most products are designed with a definite user group in mind. In order to create an effective design, a designer must fully understand the boundaries of his or her users. The more specific this user group becomes, the more likely it is that the end product will satisfy their needs. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Incorporate the source “Shifting innovation to users via toolkits."

<span style="color: #948a54; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Visualization tools play an essential role in the design process. In order to get from an idea to an implemented design, designers need to employ different techniques of visualization. These visual ideation methods are not only useful in communicating designs to others but are necessary to the designer’s further development and understanding of his or her design. Using a wide variety of visualization tools when designing products is the most effective method for fully analyzing a problem and further constraining its design concepts.

 * <span style="color: #0070c0; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 14pt;">The tragedy of the commons **

<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">As technology advances, it becomes more feasible to load products with a large number of features, each of which individually might be perceived as useful. This article details studies that examine how consumers balance their desires for capability and usability when they evaluate products and how these desires shift over time. Because consumers give more weight to capability and less weight to usability before use than after use, they tend to choose overly complex products that do not maximize their satisfaction when they use them, resulting in “feature fatigue.” An analytical model based on these results provides additional insights into the feature fatigue effect. This model shows that choosing the number of features that maximizes initial choice results in the inclusion of too many features, potentially decreasing customer lifetime value. As the emphasis on future sales increases, the optimal number of features decreases. The results suggest that firms should consider having a larger number of more specialized products, each with a limited number of features, rather than loading all possible features into one product.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Examining Planned Obsolescence as a Driving Force for Innovation and Sustainable Product Design **

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The current state of space exploration suggests a clear emphasis on the short term. The earth is our home but there is not written guideline for how our species must carry out life. Is it wrong for us to expand beyond our pale blue dot? I think not. We are but a minuscule piece of the cosmic puzzle. As intelligent life, we believe we are incredibly rare and unique. We have no idea what is out there and perhaps what makes us human is what holds us back from transcending to higher truths and we still have more evolving to do. I often wonder if evolution is the driving force behind our biological change, will we ever come Think of existence itself. Think about it. Consciousness… We know nothing on a relative scale of all that there is to know. Although a topic for another time, it is my view that <span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Who is to say that efficiency and zero waste must be the way in which we live. This brings us to an examination of human potential and my belief that what we can achieve must be aided by technology. We have grown accustomed to a fast pace of life but what we are not taking advantage if is technologies ability to optimize what we can achieve with our minds. We have more leisure time than ever before (cite TED talk on productivity or happiness maybe). We are evermore connected with friends globally, perhaps our sphere of people we connect with is still limited to 150 (cite) but it is no longer local and the impact of one person is global and can be clearly seen.

However this will slow the process of introducing new ideas to market and therefore I propose rather then what longer-lasting products proposed with changing the timeframe of design reducing pressure to get to market forcing on poorly timed innovations and rather improving the design process and tools for more efficient collaborative and effective design and development of sustainable products.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">This is still on the first page <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Looking forward, we as consumers will not and cannot tolerate planned obsolescence in its current form, perceived obsolescence in any form, or any other unsustainablebusiness and commercialization practices. Humanity has the capabilities to design all that it produces for all stages of life cycle of the products use and for product to be created based off a linear system model where required is the assumption of finite resources, action must be taken to discontinue this and evolve it into a closed loop system, otherwise the product should not be produced. There is too much at stake for this unethical business practice to continue further. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Cooperatives and collectors <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The Gemini in the form of capitalism, revolution as necessary for radical change, consumption as the way of life and way things are, wasteful throwaway mindset along with this, linear cycles and finite resources. As opposed to the potential for abundance. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Yes y'all come up with brilliant ideas but most of those ideas are taken to the grave and extremely low percentage of product ideas and is extremely small percentage of patents are ever commercialized. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">How do we eliminate these barriers and the obstacles forgetting innovation introduced into the real world in the developed and profitable yet sustainable form. The future of design in answer to this question is open-source collaborative design and invention. Be it a design revolution or as I like to say redesigning design and thinking critically about design thinking. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">. We as consumers do not need a surplus of choices and overwhelming market saturation with vague marketing and advertisement which never really communicates the true value of the product and it's advantages over other products. We don't need different choices we need better choices. Currently for many product categories these better choices that may have even once existed are no longer options. Because they were less profitable options for companies. This is where robust design products that last for lifetime and were over to engineered such as German engineering should be elaborated on and examples given maybe the refrigerator or some other German engineering. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Examine different.traps from the recording of Brandon's proposed book. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Student interviews on perceived obsolescence and consumption as the way that things are and cultural conditioning. Fresko's idea is evident in this and come to the conclusion that most people in America don't think about sustainability and are almost in during brainwashed date to think this is the norm and it's on acceptable yet completely normal.Through marketing and advertising, we are bombarded with constant information and relevant marketing and media information embracing consumerism and rejecting us if we don't fully engage in the materialist society. Green washing is seen is ever present as a marketing tool now and diminishes the credibility and integrity of the true meaning of sustainable products.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Ian McLaughlin is the founder and CEO of liquid sky and is pioneering the future of cloud computing and through his technology he 62alleviate us from our dependency on product modification and processing iteration and upgrade.The size of devices primarily cell phones tablets and other Internet connected objects don't need more processing power whilst connected to the Internet anymore.His technology has solved latency problems that have inhibited offboard computing us far and this can be tied into software upgrades miniaturization and D materialism where infinite functionality and endless personal functionality and possibility and uninhibited by creativity is designed into products.Smart products and the future of the Internet of things.In his the example of the well-off individual who got everything that he wanted and once he had the means to be comfortable no longer had any interest in money materialism. This is the idea that once we have enough to be comfortable consumerism in acquiring things objects and the value that we put on them is no longer emphasized.If material objects are far more easily accessible, they are not as highly praised and desired.We are so obsessed with money in American culture because money is so hard to obtain so obsessed with getting rich because financial stability independence and comfort are not guaranteed and are hard to come by as and most of us will have to work hard to get to that point and it is still no longer a guarantee if you work hard and get an education and college degree. Unemployment is an issue. But you're going to auto nation and it'll be even more of a problem however those are the shitty jobs that no one should be doing and we should elevate humanity to a higher level than that the values thinking over mindless labor. We must transcend these him a genic thoughts of normality within the present paradigm and transcend you a higher state of consciousness and awareness and prosperity.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Adding to discussions about Ian talk aboutgetting his brilliant idea out into the real world. He has gotten multimillion dollar offers from various investors and companies looking to buy him out. He is being sued on a weekly basis lawsuits and court cases as barriers people that don't want to see him succeed.Apple has even gone so far as to Ben or prohibit his app from existing on the app store. They claim that it isagainst their policy to offer a means of what they consider to be free streaming and or downloadtorrent of encrypted data.He pays for servers based on immediate demand in an automated cloud-based system however the premise of the technology is working against everything that Apple embodies in their business model practice of planned obsolescence and therefore cannot provide a platform for this technology success.The various lawsuits seeking to bury him in paperwork and slow down his or discourage him from going to market operate within this capitalist system that he is trying to do somebody knows dismantle through the next evolution of computing power and offboard electronics. Apple and their planned obsolescence practice early on when you're elaborate if we examine consumer culture and the nature of large corporations we realize that there are only a few big companies that control everything relating to most disposable products and if we look and examine what's really going on and food industries and everything like that there is no business model for these companies switch for heartedly embraces sustainability and product lifecycle design. Find the example of that chart that has the branching out of all the consumer product companies like the big brands and everything like that and then going to these iconic big brands and progress is made. and samples of planned obsolescence. Talk about their software upgrades that deliberately slow down the processing power and speed of your device to make you think that it no longer performs as well as the new version will and this is true once you download that software which is not designed for that device it does become slower. This is entirely deliberate and completely unnecessary and unethical. Collaborate on also if this wasn't enough there is something called reverse compatibility and discontinuation of previous software versions on a still fully functional and capable device. Well we're talking about Apple let's not forget the class-action lawsuits against their battery only lasting designed to fail just after the warranty expired. The batteries were not designed to be replaced and replacement servicing to replace the battery would cost more than purchasing a new iPod. Apple products still to this day are to the best of designable ability hacker proof and by no means designed for disassembly for upgrade in anyway possible. An entire market of phone repair services such as give those two examples of tools for replacing iPhone screens have emerged from solely based off of Apple and other companies failures to provide simmers consumers with products that have been designed for upgrade and disassembly. New phone examples of what could be our emerging but there is a clear but there is no clear roadmap as to how these systems how this model will be adopted by the larger corporations that have dominant marketshares that dominate the market.

We are designing garbage or nonsense and why not use the brainpower and time in design to progress real design change rather than new her pill dispensers. There are so many useless products out there or tiny design changes so that the small group can take advantage of a small market niche which shouldn't even exist in the first place if design was done sustainably and whole systems thinking was embraced in product design and lifecycle analysis. We must design entire systems around people and planet regardless of initial profit. Alex must fit within close loop systems where considerations far into of ecological impact far into the future are common practice. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">This is the only way to reach peppers our current path toward self destruction.

Cradle to cradle proposes plastics and polymers that last Jott contribute back to the environment but I would argue and Burt swears he says this does not go far enough and that what is really required is for us to grow materials and products. Polymers synthetic polymers are by their very nature synthetic and not at harmony with the planet. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Oh by the way make sure you find where you wrote about design merging with engineering professions for all-encompassing designers with a vast knowledge of both iteration creativity and how to make their ideas reality... And reference the podcast engineer first designer that already realizes this future and the integration of the two separate professions within the common industry.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Continuation of random page 1. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">However manufacturing techniques offer great advantage and mass production has the power to democratize truly helpful innovations. Example is indian guy giving medical device for free or dean camins waterfilter

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Affordability to the masses and appropriate technologies based on user-centered design <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Democratization of technology is enabled through mass production and with over 7 billion, we cannot abandon this model completely just because it is imperfect. We must instead try to revise and evolve it by gradually incorporating new methods. The ideal solution is both global and local and distribution production.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Traditional manufacturing relies on a take, make, waste cycle which is linear and extremely damaging to the environment. In this linear model process, from materials or minerals are extracted from the ground made or manufactured into consumer goods and disposed of through the waste streams to post often the landfill where they break down. We must do everything in our power to turn these lines is linear systems into cyclical systems. Recycling is not a long-term sustainable practice and burdens consumers far more than necessary to the point where mainstream cycling is ineffective at separating materials and an alarming amount of recyclable material isn't actually been recycled.Products must be designed so that they give back what they took or a variation but net neutrality is not enough and some sort of positive ecological social or environmental or other benefit must be inherent within the product at it end-of-life or subsequent lives.After initial use, we must examine subsequent product generations in correlation and consideration with the material integrity after processing and different stages of life.Material degradation and deterioration overtime through means of both chemical processes and physical can deteriorate the quality of materials over time and does do this.This is part of why recycling in the current paradigm commonly results in down cycling and less acceptable or quality or PR materials.This can relate to complexity and design sustainable materials doesn't mean always using recycled materials because the or even recyclable materials.Because the performance and user experience synonymous with this production and material and this is not desired and only leads to further material deterioration. Working to be less bad as was explained in Mc does cradle to cradle proposal, is not enough. Band-Aid solutions cannot avert catastrophe in the long term. But only offer short-term solutions that will lessen negative impact and only slow the inevitable demise of humankind. By this I mean escalating poverty and famine climate change or starvation genocide and the worst humanity has to offer an far worse than anything yet experienced inthe history of our species.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The fashion industry and perceived obsolescence at its pinnacle essence. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">How practical is it for us to expect a change in lifestyle and behavior in modern society where consumerism has run rampant to act epic proportions and change seems inconceivable. It's not practical to expect this kind of change from a society with such deeply ingrained in embedded habits. What is far more practical is to intervene and change if not we think and create values are you for whole systems thinking resource-based economy and society that is globally connected and driving sustainably that is achieved abundance from a finite planet. We must both educate our youth to demand change by showing them what could be versus the way that things are currently done and let them come to the realization that things have to change because the current paradigm is unacceptable.

Such tissues are called mineralized tissues. It is an extremely widespread phenomenon; all six taxonomic kingdoms contain members that are able to form minerals, and over 60 different minerals have been identified in organisms. In terms of taxonomic distribution, the most common biominerals are the phosphate and carbonate salts of calcium that are used in conjunction with organic polymers such as collagen and chitin to give structural support to bones and shells.[5] The structures of these biocomposite materials are highly controlled from the nanometer to the macroscopic level, resulting in complex architectures that provide multifunctional properties. Because this range of control over mineral growth is desirable for materials engineering applications, there is significant interest in understanding and elucidating the mechanisms of biologically controlled biomineralization

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Bioinspiration & Biomimetics is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolutiogn. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research which applies principles abstracted from natural systems to engineering and technological design and applications.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">How do you imagine interchangeable parts and a DIY culture playing a role in future design?

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Infinitely recyclable polymers <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Plants to plastics

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Sal polo state university’s pineapple or banana skins Pressure cooking cellulose to create and then mesh nanofibers

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">It’s best known as the plant from which tequila is made, but agave and other fibrous plants like pineapple and the skins of bananas, are now being made into plastic.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Led by Dr. Alcides Leao, scientists at Sao Paolo’s State University have developed what they call “super plastic” from the cellulose contained within the plants. Using a device similar to a pressure cooker, they’ve been able to turn the cellulose into nano-fibers, which after further processing, can be meshed to create an eco-friendly material that’s lighter and stronger than conventional petroleum-based plastic.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“What we do is we break up what nature did and use nature’s structure to strengthen other materials. So this is simply not destroying what nature did, but separating what nature produced and taking advantage of the mechanical properties that are infinitely superior to those produced by man. Our fiber is more resistant than steel.”

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">It’s also renewable. The auto industry is one sector where Laeo says the super plastic is perfectly suited.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">He says within a few years, car parts like dashboards and steering wheels will be made from the bio-degradable material. The process is expensive, but Laeo says the price will come down and the benefits are too numerous to ignore.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">“It will substitute traditional plastics made from petroleum. So the first benefit is it that is carbon neutral, since it doesn’t affect the balance of carbon.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Its second benefit is that it is renewable because it grows easily in a country like ours where there are great conditions, so it grows in months.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Third: it can also be recycled numerous times.”

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">And by stepping up production of the raw materials there are potential economic benefits for poor communities throughout the region… yet another reason says Dr Leao, for turning plants into plastic.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Bottom line: Scientists in Brazil have developed a method of turning pineapples, banana peels and other fibrous plants into plastic. The researchers say the material is strong, lightweight and eco-friendly and will soon replace conventional plastics in auto manufacturing.

<span style="color: #1f497d; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Bioplastics

<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">A detailed study examining the process of manufacturing a number of common packaging items from traditional plastics and polylactic acid carried out by Franklin Associates and published by the Athena Institute shows that using bioplastic has a lower environmental impact for some products, and a higher environmental impact for others.[24] This study, however, does not factor in the end-of-life environmental impact of these products, including possible methane emissions from landfills due to biodegradable plastics.

<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">While production of most bioplastics results in reduced carbon dioxide emissions compared to traditional alternatives, there is concern that the creation of a global bioeconomy required to produce bioplastic in large quantities could contribute to an accelerated rate of deforestation and soil erosion, and could adversely affect water supplies. Careful management of a global bioeconomy would be required.

<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Other studies showed that bioplastics result in a 42% reduction in carbon footprint.[25]

<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">On October 21, 2010, a group of scientists reported that corn-based plastic ranked higher in environmental defects than the main products it replaces, such as HDPE, LDPE and PP. In the study, corn-based plastics created more acidification, carcinogens, ecotoxicity, eutrophication, ozone depletion, respiratory effects and smog than the synthetic-based plastics they replaced.[26] However the study also concluded that biopolymers trumped the other plastics for biodegradability, low toxicity, and use of renewable resources.

<span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">The American Carbon Registry has also released reports of nitrous oxide caused from corn growing which is 310 times more potent than CO <span style="color: #00b050; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">2. Pesticides are also used in growing corn-based plastic

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Intrinsic Obsolescence <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Even if we wanted to make the very best products possible, the very nature of competitive self regulation (all companies are looking for cost efficiency to stay competitive. No one can make the best because everyone has to save money. The moment a company tries to improve quality, the public goes with the cheaper product <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">In a sense, everything we produce is obsolete the moment it is introduced to society.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">No one is steering this ship and no one should be, it is a collective effort. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">What defines a new generation but a degree of obsolescence due to change over time <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Obsolescence must stand not as just as the end of something <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Our resistance to change is part of what drives our animosity of planned obsolescence. It is an inner feeling or drive for us to preserve that which we have grown close to. But nothing lasts forever, Even if we could design products to last lifetimes, there can only be a select category of products called durable goods where we should be looking to increase lifespan indefinitely. We like things to stay the same that is if the meet our needs. If they don’t we demand change. Necessity is the mother of invention and if there is a need for change, it will come about. What if we devised of ways to enable consumers to build upon that which they have grown accustomed to.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">Change is required **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;">To cope with the acceleration of technological change and iteration within the electronic device market, planned obsolescence may one day serve as a driving force for innovation and sustainable product design.
