What a great article. You have laid out a very important issue in our world today.
Sustainability is the key.
But people are lazy and irresponsible.
In the case of smart phones they have become even more disposable now that you can't replace the batteries.
I am going to some how get off the smartphone wagon because of this.
One of the main problems is that Industry is not held accountable.
They tell the consumers to recycle for example but it is the industries that create most of the waste with no accountability.
It is time that we wake up as consumers and boycott irresponsible companies.
I am trying to do my part by buying products that are responsible but the problem is companies like that are becoming more an more rare.
Thanks for your thought provoking post.
Thank you for that contribution regarding cell phones.
These large companies do it flagrantly, thus maximizing and ensuring their sales, of the new models which is like a great wave, which arrives every 6 months.
The surprising thing, perhaps, is that now they have a large storage capacity, but even so, it never turns out to be enough, because it continues to fill up inexplicably!
The same thing was happening to a Windows box I bought for development. The problem ceased when I installed Linux. We could drop smart phones and go back to PCs. I don't use Hive on phones normally.
I was thinking of finding a tutorial to move my operating system to Linux, I was reading about the obvious advantages of that system!

Linux will spend less space and mainly less hardware to be able to run.
But when it comes to computers I always advise when to buy to spend more. However, you will have a machine that will last for years. It all depends for what purposes you intend too.
I have at home (which is my brother's now) a Core 2 Quad from 2008. At the time I bought it with a nice video card and 4GB of ram.
A machine that runs today and would run windows 10 if necessary.
Of course, if I were to use heavy programs, she was no longer good for about 5 years + - in any case, she is still functional, mainly to stay here at HIVE for example.
If it is something that I will do in the next few days, I have been opening my eyes a little more regarding this operating system and it is already definitive that I will abandon the window system, and I will change to the side of the penguin!
