consistent across this period: a progressive attitude towards
technology; a
hyper-consciousness of what it is to live in the present and the
future; an
overt relationship with the mass media, mass consumption and the
marketplace;
an emphasis on individualism, interiority and the 'self'; the

Industrial Strength Design: How Brooks Steven Shaped Your World
Adamson,G
Believing that an industrial designer "should be a businessman, an
engineer, and a stylist, in that order," Stevens created thousands of
ingenious and beautiful designs for industrial and household
products--including a clothes dryer with a window in the front, a
wide-mouthed peanut butter jar, and the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, and
streamlined steam irons so that they resembled aircraft. It was Brooks
Stevens who, in 1954, coined the phrase "planned obsolescence,"
defining it as "instilling in the buyer the desire to own something a
little newer, a little better, a little sooner than is necessary." MIT
