E-Waste

E-waste is a hazard to most developing countires, esspecially in Africa. Although the materials found in e-waste can be harvested and used as a source of profit the chemicals and toxins that they contain can cause serious health problems. Europe has developed a system that helps prevent the dumping of e-waste in less wealthy countries, while the U.S on the other hand has done little to prevent our e-waste from being sent into the playing grounds of children India. It is with this that we as a nation need to do a better part at helping other countries be as prosperous as we are.

Digitizing Books!

I believe that digitizing books is very helpful in many ways to students such as myself.
Because these books are now readily available to us on the web then those who can't afford to buy the book can still get a very good idea about the book with what is provided freely by companies such as google books. It is also easier to carry around and look up instead of a book, because computer are readily available almost anywhere.
