Who doesn't have a cell phone? And for that matter, who doesn't have about ten old ones lying around? I personally could make jewelry out of the SIM cards that I've amassed in just the past few years...
Our cellular usage is exceeding our capacity for provisions....
We are mining locations and basically raping civilizations for whatever they have available.
The amount of man- power it takes just to find the copper for the wires to deliver the message is obscene. The rare minerals that are essential to the inner workings of these beasts is staggeringly offensive.
I doubt if anyone who lifts a phone to their ear ever thinks about how it ever got to there.
Even recently, a whole body of video games has been un-earthed just to access the "wasted" materials within. But there will be a time, and that time is coming soon, where we will all be digging through"garbage" to find what we need.
On a local scale, we could consider consolidating what we have, to provide materials for other things.
People are murdered and massacred to find these materials and we're just throwing them away.
Our "waste management" system is lackluster at best. We desperately need to contain what what we have and re-utilize what's available to us.
In all, the very things that are bringing us all together are going to be the death of us all.
