The process of refining and marketing the phonograph from the texts “The History of the Edison Cylinder Phonograph” and “The Incredible Talking Machine” by Randall Stross is similar to the development of the Audio Spotlight in Mark Fischetti’s “Psst…. Hey You.” Competitors that battle to be top dog in the dog park, profits that could make a man rich for life, and brains needed to make it possible are all things both modern and older sound businessmen had to deal with. In most any way of living, competitors can be the most dangerous to your job and have been around the sound business since it started. Most all large companies or working men will face a competitor in their lifetime, someone who tries to take another's customers or sell someone else's product as their own, and Edison had many when word of his incredible talking machine got around. Edison had to deal with copycats and strong…

As technology progresses, our customer protection laws struggle to keep up with the new and invasive ways that companies and large corporations collect personal data from the public. The NSA’s collection of data and tracking of digital activities has raised an increasing amount of concern with the public.

corporations should still be liable for the low wages and abuses that occur abroad, whether or not they are intentional. Deavers is an example of an individual who is one of the reasons why some companies, like Walmart, fail to assume corporate responsibility for the injustices and human rights violations that their employee (the independent contractor) imposes upon its workers.
