Meeting is over, people are still hanging around, rest is needed. One thing that was mentioned was e-pollution, people's obvious concern about the disposal of PCs and the release of toxic material in the environment. This is the usual concept of e-pollution but it's even more interesting (and worrying) the fact that a typical 2-gram silicon chip requires 1.6 kilograms of fossil fuel, 72 grams of chemicals and 32 kilograms of water to manufacture. I still wonder if it's because software companies keep developing programs that require machines more and more powerful, or if it's just my fault for being a computer-addict geek. I feel guilty now.
