MASQUERED TECHNOLOGICAL LACK: A STEP BEYOND PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE

Abstract

Technological evolution has played a central role in the development of contemporary society, promoting significant transformations in the economic, social, legal and digital spheres. However, despite widespread progress, the adoption of technological innovations occurs unevenly across different sectors and institutions, both public and private. This scenario has given rise to a reference called “masked technological lack”, which refers to the existence of merely superficial modernization. In this context, systems and processes appear to be up-to-date, but in practice they prove to be obsolete or ineffective in the face of the technical and functional demands of today's world. In view of this, this study aims to investigate the legal implications of this hidden gap, especially with regard to consumer protection in the digital environment and the possibility of attributing civil liability to suppliers of goods and services. To this end, a methodological approach of an eminently theoretical nature is adopted, inserted in the critical-prospective typology, based on the analysis of doctrinal foundations and the legislation applicable to the subject.
