Digital Cemeteries
What hides in the heart of a computer? Lead, cadmium, barium, beryllium, phosphorous are only a few of the toxic and carcinogen substances that exist in the different parts of the computer, in quantities large enough to make your favorite computer one of the most polluting items, as soon as it becomes obsolete. Where do computers go when they die? In China, in cities that resemble cemeteries, computers are cut into pieces, cremated, rinsed in acid baths by armies of degraded workers who break down the computers with their bare hands for a dollar a day. The consequences of this procedure are immeasurable. As much to the environment as to the human health.
