World impact on technology

In our ever changing and growing tech world as we outsource more and more manufacturing to many many countries and nations global events are starting to have a much bigger impact on our digital world and ultimately on our own pocket books. Recently a little known fire in China shutdown a manufacturing plant for DRAM which is used in most computers and mobile devices. Although they only produced a small percentage of the worlds supply it still made the price of DRAM sky rocket by 20% to the highest price it has ever been. This will ultimately affect the price of our own consumer electronics over the course of the next year. Is it really so good of us to put all our "electronic" eggs into one basket that a fire in some obscure factory will drastically affect our businesses world wide? We need to rethink our global strategies and not focus so much on the cheapest manufacturing prices out there, lest we forget "you get what you pay for". Most recently that saying just isn't true with companies charging us top dollar for shoddy craftsmanship and poor materials. What ever happened to pride in the process and the creation? In our fast food generation even the electronics are cheaply made so quickly produced that there are many defects that the buying public "just have to get used too" because how dare we ask the companies to provide a better more reliable product. It's sad really that in our world today we still rely on cheap labor for high end products.
