Response to the Video "The Story of Electronics (2010)"

In this video, Annie Leonard gives an overview of our disposed trash again, but this time relating to the disposal of any electronics. Leonard claims that the electronics we consume are "designed for the dump", in which this what the companies that create our electronic devices are targeting at. In the previous video, "The Story of Stuff", that Gold Arrow is being presented as "designed for the dump" is within extraction, production, distribution, consumption, and disposal. Leonard has presented a better understanding on the ways we dispose easily. For instance, it can cost so much to get an electronic fixed, so people end up buying a new electronic, which could cost a few less dollars than repairing it. In the 1960s, Gordon Moore predicted that electronics designs could double the processor speed in eighteen months. The companies' thought was that they could continue to sell more electronics within eighteen months. That meant consumption, disposal, and repeat. When we dispose our electronics they end up in the landfills or become "recycled", meaning they end up traveling to other countries. Our electronics are made up of many hazardous chemicals and all of us are affected by them. Hopefully, the companies could come up with more green/ friendly for the environment electronics. Also, may we not be limited to certain designs just because we want to make these changes.This video definitely changed my perspective on the ways we dispose our electronics.
