Over the last 10,000+ years mankind has evolved, and that evolution includes technology and communications.
Starting from simple grunts to paintings on walls all the way to now where we still paint on walls (Facebook Walls) and still make funny grunts in the forms of LOLs, and ROTFLs via Text Messaging commmunication and the methods we share it have evolved greatly.

There’s a slew of information in this infographic, but there were two facts that really stuck out to me:
1) The way healthcare costs have skyrocketed compared to other things
If toothpaste had grown at the same rate as healthcare, today we’d be paying $13.50 a tube. If average income had grown at the same rate, we’d all be making close to $300,000 per year. And eating out would cost the average family $176.00. That would make for a nice tip.

Besides, most of these kids aren’t American, so the distance and hidden nature of these atrocities provide a level of depersonalization that acts as just another excuse to keep on doing it. Here are five huge companies who use or have used child labor to create something you or someone you know has bought.
