Technology is very important to this generation and the ones to come. It helps us communicate and look up information in a more successful and faster manner. Technology has a huge positive impact on the life we live in today, but it also has a huge negative impact too. Now a days people are obsessed with technology. We are constantly updating to the newest electronic. This may be a good thing since we are getting the newest features that make technology easier to use but, its also a horrible thing. This creates e-waste! Business and companies are not finding safe ways to handle e-waste, so they ship it to developing countries where it is burned, bashed and dismantled to be stripped of its valuable and still usable parts, so we don't have to deal with the problems e-waste creates. This is causing people to get very sick because, the toxic chemicals that are in the e-waste are being released when people break them.
