The whole system of American outsourcing has rendered our industry incapable of producing the next technological innovation, which unfortunately is the key to reconstructing our economy.
One example of this is the Kindle. Amazon doesn’t have the means for the next generation of their techy product to be produced on domestic soil. This article sources all aspects of the Kindle, an amalgam of parts from different countries (its flex circuit connectors are from China, its display is made in Taiwan, its wireless card is from South Korea, etc.). This outsourcing is apparently just at the precipice of an economic downward spiral that ends in loss of our “ability to innovate.”
