I have not studied the theories and practices of Planned Obsolescence but I am immediately drawn to aspects of it as I recognize their relevance to us.
- How does it related to shelf lives?
- How does it relate to age?
- How does it differ significantly from the act of suicide? (a very considerable difference I must say!)
How can you incorporate Planned Obsolescence in your organization?
If people are your organizations greatest asset (and they are) how can you deal with their inevitable obsolescence. What about those 'one deep' jobs?
What significance do such inevitablities have for the independent animator?
These are important questions animators face as all productions come to an end.
How you deal transistion through that end will make a difference.
For more definitions and additional information you may be interested in the following:

It should be noted that I don't know and therefore will not support all views on planned obsolensces fielded in that wikipedia. It does provide some interesting things to think about.
My primal interest does concern the human element.
