Two new documentaries will make you look differently at your
electronic gadgets, especially the cool iPhone or other products from
Apple whose logo might be changed to a skull-and-crossbones after
seeing “Death by Design” and “Complicit”. They examine the damage done
to both the workers who produce them and the environment, especially
in China, as well as raise important questions about the meaning of
“progress”. If being able to use an iPhone to pay for your Starbucks
coffee comes at the expense of a leukemia epidemic for Foxconn workers
and making 60 percent of China’s groundwater unsuitable for drinking,
then the whole question of progress has to be thought through.
