Made for Informatics 161.
The video attempts to show how information technology contributes to toxins, chemicals, contaminants, and hazardous wastes leak to the environment through the irresponsible manufacturing and dumping of old computers into areas of the world that are poverty stricken. Furthermore, people (children and adults alike) perform extractions on components dumped in these areas that release even more chemicals, and intensify the damage through the pollution of soil and water.
