Globalisation 101 – Dick Smith Electronics

The term Globalisation was introduced to us by the industrialists and multinationals, under the banner that it will be of benefit to the CONSUMER.

Whilst this ‘selling pitch’ maybe true to SOME extent, the real reasons are more apparent when the finances are revealed.

The Telephone plug (illustrated ---> ) also sockets / RJ45 jacks, etc, can be purchased at a retail level in Hong Kong for $0.10.

The product retails at Dick Smith Electronics / Tandy / Big W, etc, etc for approx $9.50 - $10.00, whilst at a Bargain shop for $3.50.

The is to solely to the benefit non one else other than the Global Retail Giants.
