Gary Hustwit, director of Objectified, talks design, baby strollers, and streamlining our lifestyles - Boing Boing Gadgets

"If I buy a chair now, I have to say to myself, Will I keep this chair the rest of my life? Is this something I won't get bored with? I don't mind spending more for an object if it's the highest quality, and if I think it's going to last. Obviously that's harder with gadgets and tech items, but for everything else in my life, I'm approaching consumption differently. I want to simplify my life, which includes all the stuff around me. It's not that I want to stop buying things altogether, I just want to streamline my lifestyle. Maybe that's just me. But at several times during the making of the film, I've wanted to get rid of all my possessions."
