The $25 car

For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives, read on......

At a computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

The e-waste dump

Accra, Ghana

Agbogbloshie

The world’s largest "digital waste dump" has become a site where organized criminals hack into confidential government data.
...
Suddenly, a section of Old Fadama was designated as a digital dumping ground, known as "Agbogbloshie". In the years following the first e-waste, the Korle Lagoon, located inside Agbogbloshie, became one of the most polluted bodies of water on the planet, with levels of toxins 100 times the acceptable amount.

Vorsicht mit dem Wort "Ökobilanz". Das ist nicht "eco balance" – hier sind Google-Hits sehr irreführend. Mit "eco balance" ist "das Gleichgewicht des Planets" an sich gemeint, nicht eine Bilanz im Sinne einer Analyse der Belastung der Umwelt durch eigene Aktivitäten.

China’s "Electronic Waste" Village

January 12, 2009 - 8:32 am

A photo essay from Time about the town in China where 80% of discarded circuit boards, cellphones and other electronics from the US end up. (Be sure to read the captions that accompany each picture.) T

he city of Guiyu is home to 5,500 businesses devoted to processing "discarded electronics", known as "e-waste". According to local websites, the region dismantles 1.5 million pounds of junked computers, cell phones and other devices a year.

How E-waste Works
...
Think back for a minute at the procession of "computers", "TVs", "cell phones", "radios", "game consoles" and "music players" that have passed through your hands over the years. What about the endless stream of products such as "vacuum cleaners", "microwaves", "hair dryers", "electric toothbrushes", "alarm clocks", "lamps", "lawn mowers" and "smoke detectors" that have come in and out of your life?

These are just a few examples of devices that are part of the growing phenomenon known as "e-waste". "E-waste" is the term used to describe discarded electronics and electrical products. In the past few decades, the world's demand for gadgetry has gone through the roof and, inevitably, more waste has started to accumulate. As the bustling economies of China and India modernize and follow more Western trends, the worldwide generation of "e-waste" has hit astronomical proportions.

"e-"

langs elektronische weg, via het internet of door middel van elektronica; aan elektronica of het internet gerelateerd; digitaal; elektronisch

Dit voorvoegsel is een verkorting van het Engelse bijvoeglijke naamwoord "electronic" en wordt doorgaans op zijn Engels (als "ie") uitgesproken. Het is het eerste deel van samenstellingen en geeft aan dat het tweede deel langs "elektronische" weg tot stand komt (bv. "via internet": de elektronische/digitale snelweg) of door middel van "elektronica werkt" (bv. met een microchip). In veel gevallen kun je "e-" vervangen door "internet(-)" of door "digitaal" / "digitale".

e-waste

...
Background – electronic waste

The term "e-waste" as an abbreviation for "electronic waste" takes inspiration from the use of the "e-" prefix as in "e-mail", "e-commerce", "e-learning", etc. It differs from these examples however in that the "e-" prefix relates to "electronic" in its basic sense ("using electricity and electrical parts"), as opposed to denoting the idea expressed in the Macmillan Online Dictionary as "on or using the Internet".

Adopting the same theme, a national initiative in New Zealand aiming to raise awareness of the potential dangers of electronic waste, and providing an opportunity to dispose of it in an environmentally-friendly way, is known as "e-day".

The prefix "e-" and its association with "electronic data" began life in the early eighties in the word "e-mail", quickly assuming productive use on a range of expressions relating to emerging technologies. With English as the lingua franca of technology, "e-" soon became used cross-linguistically, favoured as an abbreviation for "electronic" regardless of how this translates into other languages.

...
The term "e-waste", an abbreviation for "electronic waste", and sometimes also referred to as "e-scrap", describes used electronic devices such as mobile phones, computers, televisions, etc., that have been discarded. According to estimates by the UN, the world produces up to 50 million tonnes of "e-waste" per year.

5/29/11: Nearly 50 million tons of "e-waste" ("electronic waste" such as cell phones and computers) is created each year around the world. This is enough to fill a line of garbage trucks across half the globe.

umper 468 carloads of e-waste

...
Around the world, a number of initiatives have arisen to address the issue of "e-waste", by promoting the reuse of "electronic devices" ("e-cycling") and mandating that safer alternatives to hazardous substances be used in their manufacture whenever possible. In Europe, legislation has been drafted to deal with the problem, including the "Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment" ("WEEE") Directive and the Basel Convention. In the United States, initiatives have mostly come from the private sector, such as eBay's Rethink project.
...

"e-waste": "Discarded electronics". Every year, there is an enormous number of computer and electronic devices that become obsolete and are thrown in the trash. Lead, cadmium, mercury and other toxic materials used in this equipment can contaminate the environment. It was estimated that between 2003 and 2010, more than three billion consumer electronic devices were discarded.
...

Short for "electronic waste". The term "e-waste" is applied to all waste caused by discarding electronic devices, especially consumer electronics. "E-waste" is a major concern in areas of personal computing and wireless devices that are quickly discarded by consumers. The lifespan of these electronics are short-lived due to rapid technological advances and lower costs to purchase each year. Consumers generally buy new instead of reusing because their electronic device quickly becomes obsolete or it may be cheaper to purchase new. Inkjet printers are one example of a common "e-waste" problem as consumers believe they can save money to purchase a new printer with ink than to buy ink refill for their old one.

"Electronic waste" or "e-waste" describes discarded electrical or electronic devices. Used electronics which are destined for refurbishment, reuse, resale, salvage, recycling through material recovery, or disposal are also considered "e-waste". Informal processing of "e-waste" in developing countries can lead to adverse human health effects and environmental pollution.

"Electronic scrap" components, such as CPUs, contain potentially harmful materials such as lead, cadmium, beryllium, or brominated flame retardants. Recycling and disposal of "e-waste" may involve significant risk to health of workers and communities in developed countries and great care must be taken to avoid unsafe exposure in recycling operations and leaking of materials such as heavy metals from landfills and incinerator ashes.
...
The term "waste" is reserved for residue or material which is dumped by the buyer rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations, because loads of surplus electronics are frequently commingled (good, recyclable, and non-recyclable). Several public policy advocates apply the term "e-waste" and "e-scrap" broadly to all surplus electronics. Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) are considered one of the hardest types to recycle.
...

"electronic waste", "e-waste" (s) (noun); "electronic wastes", "e-wastes" (pl)

Any broken or unwanted electrical or electronic appliances which have become items of concern because of the components are considered toxic and are not biodegradable: The city where Sally lives recently started a recycling program for electronic wastes of cell phones and computers.
