Every once in a while the American public is made aware of the millions of people who make our stuff. Usually it is through disturbing news like the suicides at Foxconn or the rioting in South Africa. Last weekend Saturday Night Live managed to put the workers in the spotlight and provided a little perspective when it comes to our expectations regarding new gadgets versus the reality of the workers' lives. And although we laugh at the sketch, it still puts this topic in the mainstream consciousness. Hopefully, some people will think twice and do their research once they're done chuckling.
