New equipment raises serious questions of what to do with the old.
Before you settle into enjoying your new technology, take a minute to think about what will happen to the old. Finding a use for old equipment is not only a matter of whether you have room for discards. According to study by the National Safety Council's Environmental Health Center, some 100 million PCs, monitors, and TVs are expected to become obsolete annually by 2005 in the United States alone. But the problem isn't solved. People aren't throwing the equipment away.
