Impacts public health very badly more than 60% of chinas groundwater is considered unfit for human contactThe water is very swampy and gloomy showing how much it was polluted in the Yangtze riverthis also had a social impact, as seen from the old chinese women begging for clean water.Ma Jun is trying to inform everyone who owns the technology about how it’s made and how badly it pollutes the earth Silicon Valley, richest agricultural city in the country Semiconductor Industry Ted Smith, Environmentalist Apple, Intel, IBM, ETC. All came to silicon valley Art Rodeiguez worked for IbmMike Gray was the first microprocessor buyer for IBMthe semiconductor industry is a chemical making industry they rely on using thousands of chemicals clean rooms and clean suits to protect the product, not the people making itPeople started getting sick with strange illnesses A small group of people began to think this was due to the small chemical exposure from working in the technology industryYvette Flores worked in technology with many chemicals.Her son has a servers development disability because of her exposure at spectra physicsWoman is clearly emotional about her son and the affect of her exposure and how lead and it’s side effects causes this to her son.IBM has a corporate mortality file many people had cancer one bad cause of death was brain cancer, breast cancer, etc. There was a Santa Ana lawsuit going against IBM Judge denied use of the document due to excess prejudice and bias the case has a settlement and the matters were resolved IBM declined the request for an interview Solvents that the technology industries used in the 80s contaminated the groundwater, multiple chemicals everywhere families drinking the contaminated waters had birth defects, etc.Even small exposure in the third trimester can cause significant damagessanta clara country has 23 superfund sites. Helps clean up the messes they make so that the industrial sites don’t affect the environment EPA said the devastation might take 300 years to clean up at the google site and areaCompanies always try to say they learn from their mistakes but everything keeps reoccurring Companies moved from silicon valley to china so that they can have the government off they ass. The government gave these corporate companies all the land and money that they wanted.Apple was making 10 million phones a weekOutsourcing allows companies like apple to make crazy demands on manufacturers that they couldn’t make on the employees directly workers in technology are usually from the countryside and are poor so that they can survive Workers pay is so low that labor makes up barely 1% of an iphones cost There can’t be any mistakes in the assembly line for apple bosses are very strict, make you work until you’re tired as fuck if you slow down a bit, it fucks eve hey hung up hella people work night shiftsUnsafe work conditions poor work conditions man got hurt by the mechanical armfoxconn is apples manufacturer, biggest private employer in china with 1 million jobsFoxconn made people work 12 hours a day with no breaks for 7 days. 26 workers have jumped off the roof due to pressure from working, 18 have died. explosion at foxconn due to aluminum dust16 died???? get it fact checked5 months later there was another explosion at the supply chain iphone is screwing their batteries with security screws so that people can’t switch the batteries this gives the battery an 18 month life span, making people want to upgrade to a new phone after that time period.IBM is responsible for the spilling of a lot of chemicals Use pipes to take vapors out of the factories. Doesn’t make sense up to 90% of global electronics waste is illegally traded or dumped each yearmovie is pretty much about the affects of technology and the chemicals that make it up and how it affects the air, environment, water, and people’s health causing many illnesses to arise and deaths by illnesses. Movie also goes through the unsafe work environments people in technology factories work in and the poor labor conditions. technology revolution has changed our lives in many ways. However, we can’t let it affect our health and planetGOOD LUCK. LET ME KNOW OF ANY QUESTIONS!
