Designing for Obsolescence in an Age of Perpetual Upgrades

In the nineteenth century, entire railway networks became obsolete almost overnight, not due to physical deterioration, but because of changes in the technical standards that supported them.

Making things that make things

The advertising industry has always been in the business of making things, such as the OOH billboard, the 30-second spot, the snappy social post, the standard website: final, finite assets polished and pushed into the world. Agencies were paid, often by the hour, for producing final versions of these things and then moved on to the next project. Even with generative AI entering the picture, much of the conversation remains focused on making those same things faster or cheaper.

Unscrew it when you want to start a fire, scrape on the rod using a pocket knife, and sparks immediately shoot off, igniting any form of tinder, creating a tiny fire that can then be harnessed to light a campfire, an old-fashioned torch, or an emergency signal in a time of distress.

'This self-reinforced structure lets the shell flex under pressure instead of cracking, dispersing impact energy and rebounding to shape.
