Tech Overconsumption and iPhone Hysteria
#overconsumption #consumerism #iphone16
With the recent release of the iPhone 16, technology overconsumption is out of control. Our insatiable appetite for technology products from companies like Apple and beyond is yet another reminder of the powerful influence of consumer capitalism on our lives. In this video, I dive into how our desire to always have the latest and greatest technology products has negative consequences on workers who are exploited in the supply chain, namely in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, our environment, and our mental health. Together we can boycott the iPhone 16 to mitigate these negative consequences.
