E-Waste A Short History

E-Waste is a relatively new problem when looking at the vast history of the planet earth. Prior to electricity, the vacuum tube, the transistor, the printed circuit board and the micro-chip there was no e- waste. It was just waste prior to these inventions, of course waste is a huge problem whether its regular garbage or discarded computers and electronics. No one wants garbage stored in their backyard. All over the world human ingenuity has come up with all kinds of clever ways to deal with waste, sometimes it is buried, sometimes it is floated out into the ocean on a barge, sometimes it is used to create electricity. This is an ESSAY on E-Waste, who's doing it right and who's doing it wrong.
