What a stupid and useless academic concept. Everything with the possible exception of art, written work, and architecture will become obsolete at some point or another (I`m sure there are some others that I am missing here). We make advances and better products all the time. It is human nature. If it were not we would all be driving a Model T to work or no car at all.

Also, a light bulb does not become obsolete but rather burns out. The same goes for a disposable lighter. They both have a finite life line that once exceeded means that they will not work. There is no expectation that they will last beyond that point. Besides, the new light bulbs last much longer than the old ones did so in my mind that kind of disproves your point.
