The
speed of technological innovation
The
advance of knowledge and the proliferation of "technological"
products are extremely rapid, especially since the 1950s. Moreover, everything
relating to the human species has been growing very rapidly since then
(population growth, consumption of goods, energy, etc.). The rate of evolution
of techno-scientific progress is very high, of several orders of magnitude
larger than the evolution of species or the geological time scale. In just a
few hundred years, we have moved from animal traction to space exploration, and
from physical displacement communication (via the postal service) to Skype ©
and the mobile phone. The pace of technological evolution of commercial
products is very telling. Devices and media for recording and listening to
music are typical examples. As can be seen in the figure below, they have
changed quickly and significantly since their inception just under a century
and a half ago.

The
speed of evolution of the technology as illustrated by the evolution of the
media for listening to recordings
A
century is as short as the duration of a flash at the geological scale. Similar
findings can be made for the evolution of other devices: telephone (from the
telephone to the smart phone), television (from the CRT screen to the digital
screen HD), computers (gigantic first search computers to MacBook Air ©),
lighting (from the oil lamp to the LED bulb), etc. The technology is evolving
rapidly and the commercial products that come from it follow the same trend,
each brand launching methodically and regularly new versions of its products or
more simply new products. Each technological and technological innovation does
not wait for the other and floods the stores, which is a temptation for greedy
consumers that we are and an excellent economic route for manufacturers and
traders.
Not
only does this techno-industrial evolution stimulate the spontaneous tendency
and the natural satisfaction that human beings have to consume, but it also
forces them to buy new products, obliged to update their old systems that become
obsolete, unsuitable, incompatible or simply can not be repaired. And that is
not to mention the short or voluntarily limited life of material goods (problem
of planned obsolescence), scandalous ineptitude. In the same vein, it appears
that the consumables that allow the operation of some devices are sometimes
more expensive than the device itself, as a result of which individuals are
inclined to get a new one. In the same way, repairs cost most of the time more
than buying a new device. If we add to this deplorable portrait the fact that
the objects, mostly of an industrial nature, have no more sentimental value in
the eyes of their bearers, that they do not take any more care of them or that
they are weary quickly, we get a perfect cocktail for a frenzied consumption,
ecologically unsustainable of course, but also economically incoherent.
