Thiruvananthapuram is a very technical city in
India and many centers such as ISRO center and many companies are selling the
products there, as people are pretty educated there and know how to use the
technology. As we know that the next iPhone probably coming in next couple of months
and a new curved TV coming from Samsung, Existing devices are going
incompatible with the new technologies, so it kind of like they forcing the consumers
to buy new products and it just “want” and “need” strategies of companies. The
laptops and computers are going thinner then the ever before, Smartphone are going
smarter than ever before. Ultimately the thing is more technology will bring
the more e-waste into the city. Currently the city is struggling with the pile
of hazards waste and garbage scattered around the city and fields.
“The idea of
‘planned obsolescence’ by which a product is manufactured by artificially
limiting its lifespan was in currency even 100 years ago, when manufacturers of
things such as light bulbs colluded to set a maximum lifespan for the products.
But the current speed of innovation in electronic goods has made it far easier
for manufacturers, as consumers are now faced with a combination of ‘want’ and
‘need.” As published on a News Source.
As of 2014, the technology and environment is
not words to pronounce at the same time because the evolution of tech is
harming the atmosphere. It is growing at very fast speed and companies are manufacturing
the products in a very easy manner and without any problem. Countries are struggling
to take care of the waste by sending it another one so that’s not a solution to
the problem. The figure says that every year we encounter about 10 to 20 metric
ton of garbage produced from the electronic waste.
