Sustainability

Since computers were invented the environmental and economic factors have become of a poorer quality due to the amount of electricity we use which has created green house gases to rise dramatically. As technology gets better and people buy more improved and up-to-date computers no one knows what to do with the old ones, this creates a problem within the environment as harmful materials and acids would be randomly thrown out into the open. (Weee Directive) Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive, this company recovers and recycles electronic and component materials all over Europe to reduce the amount of harmful materials infesting the world.

How we spend our free time?
I spend my free time playing football and a various amounts of other sports, I also like to socialise over Facebook, play games over the Xbox, going out with friends and listening to music. Before in the 80’s people used to get entertained through watching the TV, nowadays teenagers and older people mostly use their free time on the net and solicalisng websites to connect with other friends and family.  Others ways people use their free time playing computer, Xbox, PS3 games. My parents when younger used to spend their free time meeting up with friends and playing certain games such as hide and seek tag and football games. My parents explained how spending their free time is much more interesting and better now than when they were younger because technology has improved and is fairly cheap to invest in, this keeps them entertained when bored and have spare time.
