Click!


Wow! Reading this article made me want to start my own site. The article named Click basically talks about how popular sites as in Youtube,Myspace,and Facebook started off small and then became an enormous hit. Who knew that face book only had 10 people to begin with, and now there are more than a million people worldwide using face book! It made me think how a little small idea can turn in to a mega huge success. I believe that this article can motivate lots of people to pursue their ideas and goals. I wonder what other great ideas are in store for us in the future. :)

E-Waste!



I always thought that electronics were there to help out people ….never have I thought that it was hurting people…especially the children! After reading the Article named High-Tech Trash I was very shocked and surprised. People have always been capable at making waste. E-waste is basically the processing of electronic waste in developing countries causing serious health and pollution problems. In Ghana, E-waste is a major problem for the people.Each day people work on these fields that are filled with wires and pollution trying to get what is of us in order to sell it. Most children carry armfuls of brightly colored wires.

There is so much pollution in Ghana, like humid air and pillar black smoke. This terrible pollution can cause so many diseases. It is said by Chinese Scientist that the air near most electronics that remain open contains a highly amount of dioxin (chemicals). How would you feel if you saw someone dear to you be in this type of situation? It hurts one to see children suffering this way. In conclusion E-Waste is very dangerous and should be solved. So before buying, think twice about whether you really need a new device. Support companies that make clean product. You never know if your helping can save a person’s life.
