This 21 minute documentary/short film is a must-see eye-opener on the reality of our consumer-driven society. It's available on YouTube.
I particularly identified with the depressing idea that people today are working longer than ever in order to fund an increasingly consumption-based lifestyle, and filling their leisure time with t.v. and shopping.
I also learned the phrase "planned obsolescence" -- pretty much sums up what I was ranting about in a recent post in relation to my ipod battery.
Fitter, happier, and more productive... a pig, in a cage, on antibiotics...
