For today’s Finance Friday, I would like to highlight a post that caught my eye this week.
Al Hsu (author and editor) has a fantastic post titled “Planned obsolescence and perceived obsolescence.” He examines our relationship with stuff and how marketers and manufacturers sell us stuff. It’s a worthwhile read and urged me to examine how I perceive buying the newest thing.
I particularly like how Al focuses attention on how our our various views on stuff affects our purchases. Our discipleship is tied to our stewardship, and in a consumer-driven culture and economic system in which we live, understanding our response to obsolescence is an important discipleship exercise.
Though unlike Al, I don’t think I could do with a 6-year old cell phone.
