Machines in the work place

Back in the day we used to build everything by hand. Of course this was WAY back before my days, but that is how it used to be. Now everything is manufactured in a shop. This takes away jobs, saves time, and cuts costs(in some ways).

An example of this is shoes, or any clothing. I used to work for vans and of course that company has to have a way to mass produce shoes fast and cheap. All of the shoes are man out of the country. What is crazy is that it costs about $45 for a pair of shoes, yet it only cost Vans around 3 bucks to have to shoes made. Basically they are making bank off of us. 

This does help companies that need large amounts of products made, but i feel that this is a negative thing. The worst part about it is that almost all of these shops are out of the country. This means less jobs for Americans. I feel this technology is great! But in needs to be brought back to our own country.
