Final Version

As the development of modern technologies, more and more semi-conductor based high tech products are being used in our daily life. Usually, the semi-conductor industry was called “Clean Industry”, because the products must be made in a professional clean house. However, most of these products are thrown after their life circle. Toxins in these trashes are normally lead, mercury, chromium, arsenide, and indium. As chemistry research showed, these elements are considered to be unhealthy for human. A Certain amount of these elements will cause serious diseases. This is the dark secret of the “Clean Industry”.

A computer may spend its working days in a comfortable office or in a computer lab. But the work behind most PCs is done in China. And most PC factories locate in the Pearl River Delta of Southern China. Unfortunately, this region has also become dumping ground for high tech trashes. In some cities of the region, cheap labors from country side are paid to open and sort the parts of different products like TVs, monitors, and keyboards. They burn cables to get copper. Air is polluted by burning plastic shield of the cables. They put the circuit boards and chips in acid to get gold. Then they will dump the acid into a nearby river. Soil and water are polluted by metal toxins.

Now it is the time for us to face the problem and stop this crisis in Southern China.

(Well, metal pollution is always a problem in this world. It remembers me a song:

No-one can destroy the metal

The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow

We are the vanquished foes of the metal

We tried to win for why we do not know

)

A problem about environment

I think I am going to write something about the high tech trashing in Pearl River Delta of China. These high tech trash usually are refer to semiconductor products. These semiconductor products mainly contain some heavy metal element which may cause pollution to both land and water.

How does high tech trash affect the environment in Pearl River Delta area of China.

I went to my friend's house yesterday. We played a PC game called guitar hero. It is a pretty good game. I like the game soundtrack which contain all those classical rock and roll songs. One song is played by Jimi Hendrix, the most genious guitar player. In all different guitar players rankings, he is always the top one. However, he died at the age of twenty-seven because of taking drug. It was a pity for a genious who died at young age. He could have written more songs.

The meaning of life.

What is the meaning of life? It is a very classical philosophy question that many people have asked. Some people said the meaning of life is to believe the god and save people. However, I am not a religious person. Being honest, I really don’t what the meaning of life is. Life is a kind of complex system which have stable internal environment and ability of copying itself. For example, the current way of human copying themselves is to give birth to babies. My point of view is that there is no meaning of life. We just accidently appear in this planet and live in this twenty-first century. It is said the probability of intelligent creature living in a planet is around one percent. We won the lucky draw when we were born. Although there is no meaning of life, we can have our own goal of life. We can do our best to be whatever we want. And we can enjoy our lives in the process of approaching our goals.
