Apple Products

What are your thoughts and feelings after reading the article?  Does it make you think differently about your use of apple products?  Has your consciousness been raised?  If so, explain.

 To be honest, after reading and discussing this article, I was shocked. I lost a lot of respect for the Apple company. I think that if people in authority know what is going on, they should be taking steps to fix it. Also, watching that video in class made me really change my perspective on Apple products. I admit that I have an iPhone and an iPod and love them both, but learning about what really happens in these factories has made me think about whether I would buy any more Apple products. Just the fact that each product is made by hand is enough information for me to question Apple. If this company actually takes more steps to fixing the exploitation in the factories then it can have the respect it deserves!
