[Yr11 Information Technology] U1O3 issue idea

[Mark]

E-junk. What happens to discarded, potentially dangerous tech?

This article discusses some junk that had location trackers attached to see
where it ended up.

Also see the episode of *Futurama* on the issue - S06E03 Attack of the
Killer App (source of the famous 'Shut up and take my money' meme) that
highlights the horrors caused by tech recycling in third world countries
(and planets).
