Influence

The Consumer Gadget is the consumer's best new friend. With its help the consumer can verify the ethical background of any consumer product. The operation of the Consumer Gadget – which runs in mobile phones – is based on the bar codes one can find on consumer goods. Once a bar code is scanned into the Consumer Gadget, you will have a screen full of ethical facts to read. The Consumer Gadget is designed to be used in shops and stores; before you make the decision to buy, before any harm can happen.
