  • Abstract
    Consumer electronics, critics charge, are designed for the dump. The latest gizmo enjoys a year or two of cutting-edge relevance and another two to five collecting dust. Then we throw it away. In the United States alone, 130 000 computers and more than 300 000 cellphones are trashed each day.
