Final Paper, First Post

For my final paper I will answer the question addressing Giles Slade's book "Made to Break."  I find this topic very interesting and relevant to our current time and the near future.  Society has made progress in going green with the recent movement to help reduce the use of harmful things that destroy our environment.  Although we have made progress on this topic, and I believe we will continue to make progress, our society cannot break away from being a disposable society.  Our lifestyles are too embedded in using products that are meant to be thrown away.  Technology also plays a large role in our disposable lifestyle.  In Slade's book he gives detail to how the advancement of technology leads to making its predecessor obsolete.  Products such as cell phones, cars, TV's and refrigerators will continue to advance and the need to update and replace will always be in demand.  My further research and Slade's book should be able to provide information in supporting my answer to this question.
