As the article states, the first-gen Gorilla glass was manufactured in a very advanced facility in Kentucky and shipped to China for polishing and cutting. The Kentucky factory had been in existence since 1952. As this article http://www.kentucky.com/2012/04/16/2152727/harrodsburg-product-at-heart-of.html http://www.kentucky.com/2012/04/16/2152727/harrodsburg-produ... states, the manufacturing of subsequent generations has gone to factories in Japan and Taiwan. But the Kentucky factory is still expanding. According to the article, the average wage of a new set of added jobs was $25/hour. I don't see what the problem is. Any time engineering advances like this yield exotic materials with amazing and useful properties, we technologists should be appreciative.
