Problem of Ghana


In a country as Ghana, the persons live in poor condition, where their capital Accra there is places that during the year the ships curry thousand tonnes of garbage specifically scrap that it comes of the developing countries where  obsolete devices are thrown into the trash, in this garbage there are loads of old electronics as televisions, computer monitors, hard drives, cell phone etc. This old devices are put in this places and generate contamination in environment due to chemical compounds that have these electronic devices , this also produce fatal diseases such cancer and as Accra is a coastal city the scrap is in lakes and sea polluting marine life and water of the earth.        
The persons of Acra due their need see as an opportunity this environmental problem, they extract parts of this old device that have some value as copper that is reuse for new devices however this persons which are often  are children are exposed bad environment that produce this scrap has chemical compounds fatal to humans such lead that causes cancer to be exalted.

The consume that the large electronics companies generate because their products have operating life relatively short where the consumer has to buy new products because its old devices are obsolete, the company also produce new dispositive very fast and these new devices they give new applications and new features and each generation of devices improve its characteristics producing that the people feel a necessity of to buy and creating a vicious cycle of buying and throwing. 

 More than 40 years ago, Gordon Moore, co-founder of the computer-chip maker Intel, observed that computer processing power roughly doubles every two years. An unstated corollary to “Moore's law” is that at any given time, all the machines considered state-of-the-art are simultaneously on the verge of obsolescence.
