What's wrong with this world.
This video shows one of the many effects of mass consumption by developed countries on less developed countries. This is a problem that could be fixed by better management or simply less consumption! Oh, the ewaste.
I think the problem may be somewhat more complicated than what these videos describe. For example, selling obsolete computers to people in developing countries can bring affordable internet access to people who wouldn't otherwise have the chance. Some countries, such as South Korea, were/are able to run large industries refurbishing and reselling western electronics.
