Alert
Compression
— Our economy is built around continuous growth. “Grow or die” is not just a motto; it’s a corporate reality. On the other hand, the human “culture” is approaching the limits of our “global petri dish.” Enticing customers to dispose of their current goods just to replace them with the “latest and greatest” is not going to be a viable strategy for long. We are likely to enter an economic stage of “compression,” where design for the long term, design for consumer maintainability, design for reuse, etc. become our priorities. Do we have the right tools yet?
