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.
