Steve Jobs released the first iPhone in 2007 and the monumental moment for technology caused a market boom that is still felt today. Airpods, Laptops, Monitors, iPads, Apple watches, iPhones. The list goes on. Many technologies are so deeply integrated into our lives we can���t live without them. However, they���re not built to last, giving birth to the rigorous cycle of consumerism of updating your phone. Many don���t know of the violent conditions that people live under and the unethical labour that goes into the technology that we enjoy.
