What happens after Foxconn?

In our last class, there was a lot of discussion on Foxconn and whether we should feel guilty about the suicides in the factory that builds electronics like the iPad.  However, I was wondering about what happens to our electronics after Foxconn builds them.  Phone Story shows crazy consumers trying to catch electronics at the store.  But what happens after the consumers buy the electronics?  Phone Story shows a grim picture of poor-looking foreign people  collecting “highly toxic electronic waste.”  I wanted to know more about what happens to e-waste, so I found this article called ” Where does e-waste end up?” by Greanpeace.  Should we feel guilty about where our e-waste ends up?
