YouTube - Electronic Trash Village - China - 0 views

    September 2007 Every year, 35 million tonnes of electronic waste is exported to China to be scrapped. There the rubbish is broken down by hand, poisoning workers and polluting the environment. "Smoke from the computers is too strong to breathe", complains one disposal worker. "I feel dizzy and can't see any more". Many employees at the electronic disposal plant suffer from respiratory illness or skin diseases. They work for ten hours a day, with no protection from the hazardous chemicals.

METI - Medical Simulation Technologies - 0 views

    Amazing video showing new developments in medical training. Shows 'CPR' 'dummies' that feature an array of electronics to simulate a human being - including real pulses, airways, and respiratory system (the chest actually raises and falls as the 'dummy' breathes). Looks like a great training tool and can also be used to measure the effectiveness of the first aid given. Also talks about future development such as real 'skin'. Could also be useful to discuss limitations of models, such as the lack of 'blood' and other vital systems.
