Blog assignment 2

Now I’ve watched the presentation named “Story of stuff” by Annie Leonard. The presentation will probably get me thinking once or twice regarding various commercials for a while, very interesting lecture.

By the way, I came to think that you can get fooled every week. The grocery stores ICA’ve started with Super Cut here and there, but in fact the price is unchanged. Just look under the sign in the store and check out the original price that will be the same as on the sign. This applies especially for ICA's very own brand. I just wonder if they have the right to trick us like that. If there is someone who makes a Super Cut, then surely it is them.

The same applies to stores such as Elgiganten, who claim that they have lowered the price. In fact the price is often no different from before. This isn't really my area though, maybe they have some kind of loophole that allows them to try and trick us.


Back to the story of stuff, what caught my attention the most was probably the computer manufacturers. I've never thought that they changed the design of the processors in order to get a new buying cycle started.
Maybe it's true, but then perhaps the development forces them change the design. As you might already know, nowadays everything should be as small as they possibly can.
