The light Bulb Conspiracy 

After facing a serious recession America has to find a way to make it's economy rise again. Bernard London had the answer, he came up with the idea of a system that would give things a certain time period, after they expired people would need to buy this things again so the economy would receive the bump she needed to rise again. But what they didn't know were the consequences this would bring in a long term future to our world and economy. The first industry that started with this system was the light bulb industry, after a meeting in which most of the world light bulb industries participated, they came up with a set of rules and specifications all of the companies around the world had to follow when making their light bulbs. Specifications as reducing its time period from 2500 hours to just 1000 hours had to be followed or else they would be fined for not following the contract they had made. The light bulb industry wasn't the only one, many other companies started asking their engineers for more fragile products that would have a short period of time that would help them increase their selling as their products damage. But what they didn't studied was the consequences this planed obsolescence would have in future generations.

Our world today has being changed into a huge garbage can. Where first world countries send their garbage and wastes to third world countries making this places their junkyard. Most of the technological garbage ends up in african countries. Garbage that no longer works, however this is not what this countries say they tell the international community that this are donations to these poor countries so they can keep ahead with technology. Junkyards as big as a soccer fields all filled by technological garbage which only value is the amount of metal they can get out of it. Not taking into account the huge damage they do to our environment, when they burn the cables to take the wire from it. It is not just the environmental wastes disposal that affect our world, it is as well the uncontrollable use of our natural resources that are being exploited. And that can be taken to a point in which we don't have more of those.
