Re: FW: UKNM: RE: panorama

I must confess to feeling somewhat nervous about cultural generalisations

around

skill sets.


Last time we Europeans believed that other races were better suited to

certain

kinds of work we ended up in all kinds of mess. (Admittedly I'm thinking

sugar

plantations and cotton picking rather than site building here).


You could make a reasonable argument that parts of Western Europe were more

'Advanced' in marketing terms.


You could equally well argue that we were better at the science of forcing a

bored, over-fed, over-privileged populace to consume expensive shit that

they

don't need.


I already hear far too many glib web business people talking about setting

up

'Mouse Farms' in cheaper countries. It was sick when Nike did it but it

makes me

sad to think that we might be stooping to the same thing in our industry.


Is there anything we can do to prevent this from becoming exploitative?
