Almost every computer has one or more chips to store information, make decisions, and perform specific equations. There are hundreds of different chipmakers, but the most popular are IBM, Intel, Qualcomm, SK Hynix, Micron, and Broadcom. Most US chip companies outsource manufacturing processes to Asia due to the low costs of resources and labor.
We are frequently talking about sustainability because it is a global concern. We all have contributed to the environmental deterioration by overusing natural resources, hunting exotic animals, and farming too intensively for many decades. Even when human activity has been modifying the entire environment around us, there's always something we can do to revert our actions.
For many years, humans have been looking for new routes to revert climate change and pollution while maintaining a good economy. On the other hand, we also have a water scarcity problem, which means a lack of freshwater resources to satisfy the demand. It would be impossible to live without water because we all need it to drink, wash, feed crops, complete manufacturing processes, etc.
Tech has no limits, especially when it comes to Apple and its futuristic smartphones, watches, etc. They create to impress, and its why millions of users are always ready to shop whenever a new device appears on the market.
Waste is classified into five different types: liquid, solid, organic, recyclable, and hazardous. What about e-waste? Every other year, thousands of unwanted equipment is disposed of because users want new equipment. This fact means that we have tons of electronic waste and more used equipment waiting to shift into e-waste every year.
