Planned obsolescence or built-in obsolescence in industrial design is a policy of planning or designing a product with an artificially limited useful life, so it will become obsolete, that is, unfashionable or no longer functional after a certain period of time. The rationale behind the strategy is to generate long-term sales volume by reducing the time between repeat purchases

The common definition of antique is a collectible object such as a piece of furniture or work of art that has a high value because of its considerable age, yet it does in fact vary depending on the source, product, and year. ... In the United States, the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act defined antiques as, "...works of art (except rugs and carpets made after the year 1700), collections in illustration of the progress of the arts, works in bronze, marble, terra cotta, parian, pottery, or porcelain, artistic antiquities and objects of ornamental character or educational value which shall have been produced prior to the year 1830."

Are the products that are manufactured today able to be antiques?

Title page

90′s 80′s 60′s and the NAUGHTIES 

The Naughties (the today)

We decided to go a head and use #naughties as our title page as we believed it was very reminiscent of todays society.

The #hashtag has been the ‘it’ craze from the 2014′s and 2015′s

A combination between the old and the new 

The VB can, an iconic image of the current and the past we believe will not be a household necessities of pleasure in the future.

Another example is the CD player. This was an item that quickly got overtaken by the aux cord. Again another example of an item from the late 1900′s and early 2000′s that has dwindle into the nowhere.

The difference between the houses

1. Todays house

2. The futures house

The record player 

An item we still see in houses today!

Records, used to record sound, were invented in 1877 by Thomas Alva Edison, who invented the first machine to record and play back sounds (the phonograph or record player). 

This is an example of an item that was created more than 100 years ago, but still to this day is a great feature within a house.

The power band! No better than a rubber band 

An example of an item that clearly was not a success in the way of products of today. 

They were 2010′s favourite accessory 

Power Balance wristbands, which promised to improve the wearer’s balance, strength and flexibility, were the adornment no A-lister would be seen without, and were spotted on everyone from David Beckham to Kate Middleton. Now the company behind the £29.99 bracelet has admitted that there is no scientific evidence behind the claims, and that they are no more beneficial than an ordinary rubber band.

This is a clear example of an idea of todays accessories that will not last as a vintage item in the future.

The quality of the products of today, in the future will be seen as underdeveloped

Are we paying for an everlasting product?

The answer is no. 

It is been made apparent to us that our current products are not product that will survive through the ages, like the previous centuries.

What The Home Of The Future Will Look Like

Our homes today are smarter than they’ve ever been before, and they’re only going to get smarter.With the rise of products from companies like Nest and SmartThings — which make intuitive, web-enabled gadgets that adjust themselves — we’re getting closer to a day where our homes do more for us than just give us a place to rest our heads at night. We’ve also seen some other elements of the future home take shape, like web-connected TVs, home appliances, and sound systems that you can control from anywhere in your home using a smartphone.

There were about 821 million smart devices sold last year, with 1.2 billion expected to be sold last year, according to Gartner, so there’s a huge opportunity to make our everyday objects smarter.

A new non-profit group, the Internet of Things Consortium, recently formed with just that in mind. Its primary goal is to help the makers of Internet-connected products and services collaborate with each other, and further grow the network-connected devices industry.

Given the IoTC’s commitment to network-connected devices and the number of companies already working on home automation tools, our homes will undoubtedly go through some big changes in the next 10 years.Our homes today are smarter than they’ve ever been before, and they’re only going to get smarter.With the rise of products from companies like Nest and SmartThings — which make intuitive, web-enabled gadgets that adjust themselves — we’re getting closer to a day where our homes do more for us than just give us a place to rest our heads at night.
