Made to Break 2nd Third Pg 83-185

In pages 83-185 of "Made to Break" by Giles Slade, Slade talks about the AM and FM radio. The FM radio helped with communication during World War II. But the AM radio have shorter wavelengths than FM and therefore cannot reach a certain area for coverage. The whole ideal behind the AM and FM is that people think that the FM was available when the AM was out but they only release the AM to make as much money from it as they could until they released FM. Since FM is better there would be more of a demand for FM after people got used to AM. American society is sort of oblivious to the fact that corporations manufacture their products to purposely stop working after a certain amount of time. Usually around the time the factory warranty expires, therefore forcing the consumers to buy more products and give the companies more money. I feel as though it is a smart tactic in the industry world because just like the encyclopedias mention in the Wikipedia novel, products get outdated and the companies need a way to make more money. Once a product is outdated its time to produce newer products for consumers to buy and American society tends to purchase products that are popular at the time.
