    I could never thought that such things could lead to such problems! This social and ethical issue (people and machines) is surely affecting the world around us, not only use but the environment as well. Not everyone is aware of this, that these electronics can lead to a lot of harm! Yet, even if more people would be aware of this, I don't think anything special would be made to reduce so many pollution and harm to the society as people are becoming so dependent of technology that eventhough they would like to reduce such pollution, they wouldn't abdicate their electronics in order to reduce pollution (in my opinion) Furthermore, technology has been increasing rapidly and will continue to increase even more. This means that more pollution due to more electronics will be made. The question is, for how long will Earth continue 'alive'? Because by this passe, how technology and pollution is increasing drastically, not many more centuries.

    Apple is my first choice for Mp3 players, laptops etc therefore it is good to see that they are concerned with the environment and has put in a lot of effort to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions especially now that Global warming is a major issue in society. However, it would also be nice to see Apple produce their products in a way which did not affect workers rights. I found a story which claims various Chinese workers are exploited, http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2011/apr/30/apple-chinese-factory-workers-suicides-humiliation
