Bringing Humanity into Electronics (Featured Article)
|
Every year, 20-25 million tons of e-waste are produced, categorized as undesirable electronics such as computers, phones, printers, and fax machines. Households, companies, and governments all bear this figure’s accountability. As the quantity of e-waste rises, it has also spread across international boundaries, with big quantities being transported overseas for disposal to lower-income countries. As a result, e-waste is increasingly becoming a global issue with its disposal releasing increasingly higher levels of greenhouse gasses. There is a greater need to reduce the electronic waste either by recycling process or via any other means.
Bojan Paduh saw the problem and ventured upon solving it as a result of an experience he had when he first moved to Canada. Bojan’s family emigrated from Croatia in 1996 and couldn’t bring much with them. Shortly after they settled, the church group that Bojan’s family belonged to gave him a computer. This seemingly little gift had an immeasurable impact on his life. Armed with this valuable piece of technology, Bojan began to learn the art of computer science, giving him access to information at the click of a button and the ability to complete school assignments that really stood out. One of the significant moments that sprung the vision for an innovative venture was when he actually fixed the computer himself with his dad’s help.
