THE BEST WAY TO REDUCE
ELECTRONIC WASTE
IN TODAY'S WORLD

The concept of planned obsolesence
has been the backbone of profitibility
in the computer industry for like forever.

Two perfect examples of this are my IPad
and my MacBook Pro, which are both
one software upgrade from my having to
scrap them and buy new ones.

This is a very deliberate tactic by all
computer companies in collusion with
software developers... Always make sure
that at least one in every four or five
upgrades renders the machinery
obsolete, despite the fact that the actual
hardware is not close to being worn out.

This is corporate greed pure and simple,
and something that needs to be
investigated and remedied, because we
are quite literally drowning in a sea
of high tech junk.

Thoughts on happiness

Today, I simply want to pass along a quote that's been popping up in my mind over and over, ever since I heard it: · "I've decided to be happy because it is good for my health." - Voltaire · This is your life. You only get one.   Go be happy. · "

Confused
