Our gadgets are so shiny and sleek, aren’t they?
Unfortunately, there is an ugliness behind those shiny screens.
A story that’s hard to hear.
Will you listen?
Thoughts?

Ick. The sordid underbelly is exposed. What is the solution? It seems the only solution is to quit buying these things. We do not have the collective will to do that, particularly when most of us don’t even know.
The first step then seems to be vivid, relentless exposure, such as this infographic. Raise the level of embarrassment of these companies. Make it tough for them to turn the blind eye. It could still come down to us having the will to do without until things are changed.
Are there any tech companies who do not use these slave factories?
Eric Dye says
I doubt it. I think all the tech factories do. I’ve spoke with some human rights activists about this kind of stuff and the bottom line is this: education. Get the word out, inform people, and these companies will change their ways. Boycotts are dead.
