Digital Dumping around the World

Many of you wrote about the environmentally-friendly aspect of using computers and the internet. However, the digital dumping of electronic waste is creating a catastrophic environmental problems in many parts of the developing world. This video, made by University of British Columbia students in the School of Journalism, documents this problem. You can read a synopsis of the video and find more links here. In particular, learn more about The Dark Side of the Information Age.


Here is a more recent and shorter video that covers the same topic.

Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll (1872)

(Check definitions)

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.


`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
