Summary
Computer technology has led to significant environmental issues, primarily related to e-waste generation and improper disposal. The production of devices like games consoles, office equipment and smartphones contributes to environmental impacts due to resource extraction and energy consumption.
When these devices are not disposed of legally and ethically, they become e-waste, posing a serious problem. E-waste contains harmful substances that can pollute the environment and harm human health.
Proper disposal and recycling are essential to stop these issues and reduce the environmental impact of computer technology.
