Sad, indeed: in a cruel irony, this week, that marks this anniversary, began with the news that Sony is closing it's Brazilian plant, leaving 220 people unemployed. I see with sadness that probably will come the day where Brazil will join the United States and European countries on the "club" of countries with no manufacturing of electronics, where TVs and everything else will be imported from China.
