This short movie shows the poor working conditions of Chinese workers who
make Apple’s Ipad componants in the Foxconn factories.
My first reaction was: “WTF!! I’m not buying an Ipad now! Apple is a corporate slave-driver!”
Are you with me?
Yeah?
Well then we should also boycot Nintendo, Nokia, Microsoft, Sony Ericsson, Acer, Intel, Asus, HP, Dell and more.
I wikipedia’d Foxconn and found out that they make components for these guys too.
On my desk alone I count five product made by these brands.
So yeah, I can decide not to buy an Ipad, but that would only give me the illusion of a clean conscience. In fact almost all electronic have Intel chips in them.
And I need a computer to participate in this society.
What can I do?
The research:
