Seeing the High-Tech with Rose Colored Spectacles

Taiwan has been named as the kingdom of high-tech, with many high-tech productsbeing both designed and produced in Taiwan. Regrettably, recently at Foxconn’s Guangdong factory, story after story of suicide have been in the press.

Young Fast Optoelectronics, subcontractor for the well-known brand name  cell-  phone  HTC, has also been in the spotlight for disputes over improper dismissal    and exploitation of its factory workers.

A group of college students converged on Taiwan’s computer exhibition and put on a play to make known their feelings toward the unfair treatment of workers as well as to make consumers stop and think before buying their glitzy new product, ‘Human Technology’ or ‘ Human Suffering’?
