How the growth of ICT is affecting our environment?
M.A. Karim: No doubt that Info-communication Technology has accelerated growth in almost every sphere of activity and facilitated the teeming millions of this planet in a big way. It also has the potential of addressing environmental issues in an effective manner and on a grand scale. But ICT also has its share of negative fallout. For one, the world is being littered every year with millions of tons of discarded PCs, handsets, printers, monitors, etc. The heaps of this silicon hell harbor hazardous elements which pose serious threat to environment if not recycled or disposed off in a responsible manner. The electronic waste is being produced at a fast pace as new technology replaces the old one in a short time. Resultantly, the facilities to dispose-off discarded gadgets are inadequate even in the highly developed countries, what to speak of the developing world.
While employing ICTs to facilitate ‘Better City,’ it is equally important to also address the issue of silicon waste which is directly causing environmental degradation on a massive scale.
