During class, we watched the video called the Story of Stuff. It basically tells the detailed truth about what has been going on in the world that has been environmentally unfriendly and the consequences of it. Specifically, human activity is causing deforestation and resulting in natural products to diminish in a rapid rate. The rapid change in technology would make consumption even worse. Due to the nature and shape of the chips that make up the new technology, you can’t take out an old computer chip from a computer to make new devices. Therefore, lots of brand new devices must be made. In addition, the charger for fifth generation iPod/iPhone is completely different than the previous generations; therefore people are not only forced to spend extra money on new chargers, but also that consumption becomes greater. Factories that turn natural resources into everyday items, including technology, would need to release toxic pollutants into the air, resulting in climate change, as well as destroying more natural habitats, resulting in more animals and plants becoming endangered. If this practice continues, the world would eventually end up coming to a standstill. Furthermore, humans would eventually be endangered, similar to what happened in Easter Island, according to Jared Diamond (author of Easter’s End).
