LIVING DOWN ( GUSTAVO FAVERÓN), THE BULB FROM LIVERMORE AND PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE


I was like the electric bulb of the fire department from Livermore, California, which a hand switched it on in 1901 and no hand has switched it off until today




This bulb is indeed famous for being on for very long. You can see it streaming via this webcam, where people from anywhere in the world can admire this phenomenon, which goes to show that things aren´t made nowadays as well as they used to.
Its only secret is that it´s made of more and better materials than current bulbs, which are surrendered to planned obsolescence.
