Exploitation, In the Light of History



March 25, 1911, and December 14, 2010.

Almost 100 years separate the two dates, but in a global perspective nothing has changed for the better in the exploitation of workers, rather for the worse.

The companies that benefit from the exploitation are still based mostly in the U.S. and Europe. The only thing that has changed is the location of the workers. The worst cases these days are now found in the developing world, where the workers live and work in abject misery and unbelievable circumstances without a right to organize.

Eddi: "SecondLife Is Now Relevant Again"

My buddy Eddi Haskell, SecondLife blogger, photographer and techguru extraordinaire, has some interesting thoughts today on what yesterdays sensational news, that Facebook will be purchasing Oculus VR will mean for SecondLife.

Oculus VR are the developers of consumer-ready Oculus Rift, a 3 D headset for virtual reality applications.

To quote Mark ZuckerbergMobile is the platform of today, and now we’re also getting ready for the platforms of tomorrow. Oculus has the chance to create the most social platform ever, and change the way we work, play and communicate.

Read Eddi's interesting and compelling thoughts on this development Eddi & Ryce's Second Life: "Second Life Is Now Relevant Again..."

As I am afflicted with an almost complete one-sided blindness since childhood, this development will mean nothing to me (I remember the many times spent I spent in movie theaters or in front of television sets with green and red glasses and listening to the others ohhhhhing, ahhhhhhing and wowing), but the more fortunate of you will certainly get a kick out of this.
