Looking Out From Inside the Kaje

The next time you pick up your iPhone, or any other material good, just think about the blood and sweat that came from it. 

I personally know some people who are addicted to their personal electronics. This is the American way: to be materially addicted AND to be ignorant of the origin of product - especially when it’s been outsourced to lower labor costs.

I can’t help but to recognize, I’m probably guilty of owning a laptop, and for using a computer at work, and owning 2 expensive cameras. However, I will not in the near future, switch to any Apple products. I do understand that, it’s not just Apple products that are subject to these building conditions, but from today forward, I want to be a better consumer. I will do my best to research the origins of the products being made, and make smarter choices.

There’s the argument that, without these sweatshops many of these people and family’s would not be able to get money otherwise. I am opposed to these working conditions. 

I don’t expect you to agree with me. I just hope you have these people in the back of your mind the next time you purchase an electronics product (including but not limited to Apple products).
