Just something that I found when searching for something. I like that Red try to fight a little this kind thinking.
I made a search and didn't find a post talking about this.

Film Review: To Buy, To Throw Away, To Buy; the Secret History of Planned Obsolescence
by Petz Scholtus, Barcelona, Spain on 01.13.11
"Last month, Catalan TV3 just aired a new documentary called "comprar, llençar, comprar", meaning "to buy, to throw away, to buy" in Catalan, right on time for the christmas shopping and the winter sales which started this week. You can now watch the documentary in Spanish on RTVE (Spanish national TV). It tells the secret history of planned obsolescence, which was designed in the 1920ies but with which we still struggle in our current lifestyles. If you are wondering how consumption became our way of life and why we are throwing so much stuff away all the time, this documentary looks behind the scenes of things and shows the shocking truth about why we have become a throw-away culture and where obsolete objects end up at. The film has assembled some interesting stories with unique footage from Spain, France, Germany, the USA and Ghana."
"I definitely recommend seeing "comprar, tirar, comprar" if you understand Spanish, although, for those of you who don't, the movie is subtitled rather than dubbed, and quite a few presenters speak in English."
