<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><i><b>Welcome to High Technology International</b></i>.
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Thirty-fivee years is a long time to be doing anything, let alone the same job. I
suppose you do have to have some love (if not a love-hate) relationship to
Technology, the Clients, the Global scale...</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">The average American job last 7 years, the
average marriage 6.9 years, what does this tell us? Is is something about making
a commitment and sticking with it? I was just reminded yesterday that we have
outlasted some of the world's major corporations who have come and gone or
merged over these two and a half decades of HTI.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">We have seen almost all manufacturing gravitate
East, along with jobs, to Thailand, China, Myanmar, Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore and beyond. <a href="http://www.dassk.com/index.php">
<img border="0" id="img2" src="buttonF2.jpg" height="20" width="100" alt="Read more.." fp-style="fp-btn: Glow Capsule 2; fp-orig: 0" fp-title="Read more.." onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'button32.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'buttonF2.jpg')" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'button33.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img2',/*url*/'button32.jpg')"></a> We have witnessed the rise of forced,
child and slave labor in those countries, as in India (estimates up to perhaps 40% of
production) and Bangladesh and mostly failed efforts by the U.N. and others to
stem the tide.
<a href="http://www.dogpile.com/dogpile/ws/results/Web/forced%2520child%2520%2520slave%2520labor/1/0/0/Relevance/iq=true/zoom=off/_iceUrlFlag=7?_IceUrl=true">
<img border="0" id="img3" src="button38.jpg" height="20" width="100" alt="Forced Labor" onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button34.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button38.jpg')" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button35.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img3',/*url*/'button34.jpg')" fp-style="fp-btn: Glow Capsule 4" fp-title="Forced Labor"></a></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">As we request a report on the factory and work
conditions from various suppliers, we are mostly met with the most incredulous
responses, like "<i><b>what difference does it make?</b></i>" and "<i><b>It is
not your problem or concern.."</b></i> We reject this approach, but try to
gently encourage the other direction, and will continue to do so. As we are the
importer/exporter and at times distributor, we lack the influence that major
brands could exert, if they chose to.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Sadly, most companies outsource and rarely visit
the actual production house in lands far off. So much for Reagan's theory of
"Constructive Engagement" (as when he advocated that U.S. companies do business with
Apartheid South Africa, therefore prolonging the misery).</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">We have been traveling, along with our agents, to
trade shows worldwide, for two decades, searching for new tech innovations and
solutions. Luckily, we now have enough cache' that inventors and designers
are coming our way, in advance of the market, and we can have input into their
creations. If you feel you have a product which needs our energy and insight,
please feel free to <a href="http://www.thehightechstore.com/contactus.html">
contact us</a>.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">We now have in excess of 55
<a href="http://www.thehightechstore.com/hightechweb.htm">web names and sites</a>,
50 business, 5 politics. <i>We were told a long time ago not to mix religion,
politics and business, which is hilarious, since they are the same thing.</i>
You are <a href="http://www.thehightechstore.com/vegetarian.html">what you eat</a>,
what you make, how you make it, who is affected in the process, (just ask Union
Carbide & the survivors of Bhopal, India), why and how.<a href="http://www.dogpile.com/dogpile/ws/results/Web/bhopal%2520india%2520union%2520carbide/1/0/0/Relevance/iq=true/zoom=off/_iceUrlFlag=7?_IceUrl=true"><img border="0" id="img1" src="button39.jpg" height="20" width="100" alt="Read more..." fp-style="fp-btn: Braided Column 2" fp-title="Read more..." onmouseover="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button36.jpg')" onmouseout="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button39.jpg')" onmousedown="FP_swapImg(1,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button37.jpg')" onmouseup="FP_swapImg(0,0,/*id*/'img1',/*url*/'button36.jpg')"></a></font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Perhaps
<a href="http://www.thehightechstore.com/inthefuture.html">In The Future</a>, we
will come to common understanding about
<a href="http://www.amnestyinternational.org">Human Rights</a>,
<a href="http://www.peta.org">Animal Rights</a> and the
<a href="http://www.cleanngreen.com">Environment</a> and our total
interdependency. We will also come to realize the need for encouragement and
protection of <a href="http://www.internettvnews.com">Free Speech</a> as it is
the Oxygen for entrepreneurial enterprise. In our opinion, a 'Market Economy'
(as is professed of China), can not be a 'Free Market', without the <b>Free Exchange of
Ideas</b>, <i>along with
commerce</i>.</font></p>
