Would you purchase nowadays a car without electric windows? That is .. if cars with manual windows still exist\u2026<\/h2>\n

In my opinion, the answer is NO. No in 99% of all cases. Now we are so accustomed to opening and closing windows by simply pressing a button, it would never cross our minds to go back to performing the same function with three turns of the handle.<\/p>\n

Yet, we should remember that the first electric windows were installed in cars in the 1940s-50s, and only saw wider distribution later on. Before then, we managed perfectly well without them. And I am convinced that when they were first launched on the market, many considered them to be a rather, if not very senseless solution. A total waste of money. Am I wrong?<\/p>\n

MICROingranaggi<\/strong> collaborates with enterprises from a wide variety of industrial sectors, so we are often faced with situations where there is an enormous enthusiasm in designing automated systems to meet market demands, but for which – if you think about it – apparently there is no real need. Yet in most cases they refer to automated solutions for which there is reasonable certainty (at a marketing level) that they can actually appreciated by the market and therefore purchased, even when there is no specific need.<\/p>\n

An what is the outcome? The outcome is that manufacturers such as us continue to<\/p>\n

produce, produce, produce. Increasingly more and increasingly swifter. An infinite quantity of objects and solutions that are then purchased. Often when there is no apparent need.<\/h2>\n

The question that arises (especially as the Black Friday period<\/a> has just terminated, and we are preparing for the festive period and the January sales):<\/p>\n

is, do we really need everything we buy?<\/h2>\n

No, absolutely not. And the waste landfills are increasingly full. So why do we keep buying?<\/p>\n
