Media Artifact: The Electronics Industry

In 2022, most electronics manufacturers made their profits off of the labor exploitation of desperate workers. Workers in for manufacturers such as Foxconn in China were subjected to long hours, low wages, and the jobs involved workers being close in proximity to dangerous chemicals and hazardous materials.

Here in 3022 we have significantly more advanced technology and as such labor intensive jobs have changed in ways that support our utopian lifestyle. Almost all labor intensive jobs, such as in electronics manufacturing, is now completely automated and factories are full of robotic assembly lines that can produce valuable goods without the need for labor exploitation. Jobs in the electronics industry involve technician and supervising roles, and the working conditions for these workers are very good. They can feel happy knowing they are ensuring that important manufacturing services are running properly in a professional and relaxed manner.
