My supervisor/mentor used to work at a sporting goods company, specializing in skis and snowboards etc. and we often talk about how projects and products come to life.</p> <p>What most people, who are not in this field, don&#39;t realise is just how much time, effort, bureaucracy and money goes into developing a new product. The fact that something is being developed at all is only the result of market demand and marketing. With skis, most of the time, a new model is simply the last year&#39;s skis with new graphics on top - meaning the company spends months of work of maybe 20 people developing absolutely nothing new of value. In the current company we are developing a new thermometer - a device which has been iterated on thousands of times in the past few centuries and there&#39;s absolutely nothing new we could realistically bring to the market - yet it has to be done because it&#39;s allegedly missing in our product line-up/ecosystem. A team of 15 people, including highly skilled mechanical engineers and software developers are going to spent the next few months working on something which does not add any value to the world and is just not needed.</p> <p>At least we&#39;re developing medical devices - imagine the human effort spend bringing completely worthless shit to the market - gag gifts, the 37460th hue of nail polish, pet costumes, movie merchandise and RGB lighting for your gaming PC case...</p> <p>Imagine what we as humanity could achieve, if all those people&#39;s time, knowledge and effort was focused on something of actual value. Instead of answering to the pointless demands of the market, all this effort could be focused on trying to figure out clean energy, waste management and sustainable food production. Perhaps we could have figured out a lot of important stuff by now...</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href="https://www.reddit.com/user/roksraka"> /u/roksraka </a> <br/> <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Anticonsumption/comments/10j8l3m/overconsumption_results_in_wasted_time_and_effort/">[link]</a></span> &#32; <span><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Anticonsumption/comments/10j8l3m/overconsumption_results_in_wasted_time_and_effort/">[comments]</a></span></content><id>t3_10j8l3m</id><link href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Anticonsumption/comments/10j8l3m/overconsumption_results_in_wasted_time_and_effort/" /><updated>2023-01-23T09:34:13+00:00</updated><published>2023-01-23T09:34:13+00:00</published><title>Overconsumption results in wasted time and effort</title></entry><entry><author><name>/u/SoapSyrup</name><uri>https://www.reddit.com/user/SoapSyrup</uri></author><category term="Anticonsumption" label="r/Anticonsumption"/><content type="html"><table> <tr><td> <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Anticonsumption/comments/10jralc/run_fast_friends_and_you_just_might_get_a_hold_of/"> <img src="https://preview.redd.it/vjik91f2qvda1.png?width=640&amp;crop=smart&amp;auto=webp&amp;s=c7291c63f064dc37f64aa9ad5cb371b19d7d2d2b" alt="Run fast friends, and you just might get a hold of this bag in promotion!
