CrunchGear in Shenzhen: Seeing Where the Tech Sausage Is Made
Printer-friendly version
Send to friend
Gadget website CrunchGear editor John Biggs stopped by Shenzhen last week. We caught up with him for a drink at Club Viva. He wrote about is first impressions of Shenzhen and then mentioned something that people living in this manufacturing boomtown know:
We believe that machines make our machines. This is not true. Humans make our machines and they work long hours for a bit of comfort and an increasing wage. If you think your laptop or even your USB keys plop out like fully-formed electronic fetuses, think again. Each device we own has been touched by countless human hands in the process of prototyping, PCD manufacturing, casing, embossing/printing, and packaging. We forget this truth at our peril.
Read his Full Post on CrunchGear.
Looking forward to hearing about the rest of John's trip in further blog posts.

Human labor is a lot less
Human labor is a lot less expensive than buying a robot, maintaining, and re-tooling it for a new job. Not sure when when robots become cheaper, but at Chinese labor rates, I don't see that happening for a long long time.
