National Georgraphic: Technology story

This is a photo story that I recently read in National Geographic. It deals with the disposal of electronic waste. I found it interesting. The story touches on the illegal world of people compiling parts and using them to refurbish older computers and televisions before selling them off in poorer countries. Also, the piece deals with the difficulties in recycling the materials.

Thanks for the great link. After I looked at what you posted, I found so many more multimedia posts and have used one of them as my relevant multimedia post. Most of them were photo stories from the previous NGM publication, which is awesome because having these multimedia resources available to us allows us to see, and hear, different perspectives than we would if we were to see the magazine article and photo story solely.
