It does not matter where the films are manufactured whether its in
china or in america. the question is will digital completely replace
good old films in such a manner that films can only be found in
museums .films dominated for nearly 100 years and will it be replaced
by this digital technology in one or two years. as someone earlier
said the manufacturing units of these films will be ported to
developing countries where replacing an old technology will take more
time than in developed countries. also don't you guys feel that
digital photography is still evolving and will take it's own time to
come to a stable level.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Those who feel that just because some of us are concerned about sending our
jobs to China or another country marks us as racist you are Mistaken. We are
concerned about how we will be able to support our families pay our rent and
put food on the table.

The Citizens of some of the other countries like China get taken advantage
of just the same they are not loosing jobs but are getting jobs that may pay
$ .30 or less per hour.

Just face the facts some of you just want to play god with kill file power
it is an American freedom.

No doubt, blame the politicians but cheap labor....... its really the
best weapon the communists have against capitalism. And some
of our GREEDY SPINELESS politicians are highly to blame.

BBC News has a series on China this week. Yesterday they showed a Chinese
textile factory, with poor workers busily engaged behind rows and rows of
sewing machines. Outside the factory were shacks made of corrugated metal.
Roadways were mud.

The owner of the factory had a huge mansion and drove a BMW. His taste of
financial independence came at the expense of literally hundreds of
poorly-paid workers.

I understand that China also has a "progressive prison system," where
convicts are used as forced laborers. And it does not take much for one to
be imprisoned in China--these aren't all bad guys, you know.

One day, we will be as bad off as those poor Chinese workers. Some people
will be very rich, at the expense of all the rest of us. But, we can always
save money by shopping at Wal-Mart!<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
