this film (divided into three parts) takes a total of 20 minutes, but worth it to dedicate this time. Show the life cycle of products, but is full of interesting touches important issues, even fundamental, simplified, but never spread.
requirements of the product cycle in Western society (the video is addressed to the U.S., but the concepts apply perfectly to any industrialized country) have changed our society, the politics of our country, our way of life, our planet and have done all these things worse, we have more products available, many more of the past, but worth it? The alternative is not so much to give it up (figurarsi! make this proposal, inevitably causes a chain of reactions, with the final conclusion that it's okay), but to change the perspective, we should not be at the service of goods, but they like our service was when the man began to produce and how it should continue to be. It is a commonplace and yet, what we do every day is just to serve the production, if we think deeply (and this movie helps us to do so) we see that it is.

We started to produce items to be able to do things better, to simplify our lives and instead, at least from a certain point onwards, we have complicated items should make us happier, but our happiness has declined in proportion to the power consumer. If you ever want a new object, a new version of what we (and immersed in this state of things is necessarily the case), we can not ever be truly happy and happiness eludes us.
Being happy is essential for all living things, but in the frenzy of work, production and purchasing there is more time to greet us and less, have fewer friends, we love less. In essence, we follow a mirage that makes us constantly unsatisfied, we are like hamsters running on a wheel trying to get a carrot, while we could have run in the meadows and a full life, but the hamster is in a cage and has no choice and we?
