Reflection on Click reading
Out of all the articles that I have read, I think I find this one the most interesting. Many people now day just go to world known websites like Facebook, Google or Youtube but they never know how those websites got so big worldwide. Most of the internet users live in urban areas which makes sense because this is the root of where all modern technology is at. Almost all households have some sort of technology like a computer. Overall, there’s no doubt that there will be other new websites where they may surpass even Google. Until that happens, Google and other major websites will most likely continue to strive and be updated with all the newer technology that we get that will continue to change and shape our society.

Reflection on E-Waste

When I first read on E-waste, I was shocked and I also felt guilty because I had no idea that all of this was going on in another part of the world. It was a reality check because many people only think about their own lives and don’t really give second thought about the rest of the people in the world who are in conditions that we never would think of. Many of that unwanted technology scraps are made from toxics like zinc which people are exposed to every day. E-waste has ruined many peoples’ lives, and not only the people but the land that they were born in. I think there should be more action in solving this issue to better people’s lives. Some organizations are trying to do better. In 1995, Protestants led to an amendment known as Bowel Ban which forbids hazardous waste shipments to poor countries. People like these can help make a difference.
