...What is electronic waste? Electronic waste or e-waste is a term for electronic products that have become unwanted, non-working or obsolete, and have essentially reached the end of their useful life. Certain portions of the electronic waste stream are defined and the systems to recover and recycle them will be administratively regulated beyond the universal waste rules that apply to material handling with the passage of the Electronic Waste Recycling Act of 2003. This phenomena is occurred in the high rate of the technology advances. Whole categories of old electronic items contribute to e-waste such as VCRs being replaced by DVD players, and DVD players being replaced by Blu-ray players. The common electronic products such as televisions, VCRs, stereos, computers, copiers, and fax machines. These electronic products are thrown away when they are used after few years or no longer wanted by the consumers. Nowadays, our world was polluted by the e-waste. The ecosystems and drinking water were harmed and facing pollution of the electronic wastes. 1.6 billion cell phones were manufactured in 2012, these electronics are packed with toxic chemicals: arsenic, lead, and poly-brominated flame retardants. The average month an American keeps a cell phone as short as 18 months. 60% of the e-waste are toxic metals which usually ends up with landfill and these toxic will leach into the soil and water. Although electronic products can be recycled, but 30% of the electronic materials...

...are suspension and deposition. Fields expected to benefit from nanotechnology include water purification, sanitation, agriculture, alternative energy (particularly photovoltaics), home and business construction, computer manufacturing, communications, and medicine. Vertically oriented 1-D nanowire growth. Directed growth is a critical challenge for the practical design of nanowire-based electronics. At the ACNT, we have developed a synthesis technique in which the one-dimensional nanowires are epitaxially grown in the vertical direction. A large array of vertical nanowires can find many applications in next-generation nanoelectronics. For a logic chip for computing, these vertically free-standing nanowires are used as channel materials of MOS transistors. Examples include 3-D integration of CMOS logic gates (see Figure 2). With a surrounded gate architecture, these tiny transistors offer great scalability due to superior control of short-channel effect and leakage, providing the ideal device architecture for sub-10nm CMOS. The nanowires may also serve as interconnects and other electronic components such as diodes or resistors, making an ultra-compact integrated chip possible. The vertical nanowire array is also a preferred architecture for ultra-dense information storage. Figure 3 shows a nonvolatile memory chip built from a nanowire array. The parallel connection of many vertically grown nanowires offers ultra-high...

...Technology is relatively new in terms of its prevalence with children. As many parents are not as up-to-date with the latest gadgets, they tend to have little knowledge on the possible effects technology might bring. But technology, while useful, brings many negative effects to teens' lives. Parents who have technophile kids should be aware of the possible risks and dangers. Predators Informed parents know that the media blows the prevalence of online sexual predators out of proportion. However, they do exist, and they often go after easy targets, namely children. Technology such as the Internet and smart phones give both children and predators the ability to make contact with large amounts of new people. Uninformed children might feel they are making a friend but in fact are running the risk of being preyed upon. The key risk here, though, is not the predator but the lack of adult knowledge about technology and the lack of supervision parents give to their children’s online behaviors. Parents who feel bad prying into their children’s lives are ignoring the fact that most children, especially teens, are sexually curious, willing to take risks, and have poor decision-making behaviors. So, while not common, sexual predators do exist and should be something parents talk to their kids about before allowing them full reign online. Mental Health Problems Clinical coordinator at Illinois Addiction Recovery Shannon Chrismore wrote in the book, “Internet Addiction: A Handbook and Guide...

...theory once with my guitar processor and my drum machine to see what new sounds I could create. A guitar processor is an electronic device that enables a person to plug in a guitar to the processor to access different sound effects with the guitar such as distortion, flange, wah wah, chorus, delay, and reverb. The drum machine is self-explanatory; it is an electronic device that contains samples of many different drum sounds for a person to create drum beats for songs. I wanted to try a different approach to create new sounds for my music. The research I conducted was listening to other music that used drums with effects on them. I also researched the method of effects that the DJ for the Beastie Boys uses on his turn tables. The DJ plugs his turn tables into an electronic sound effects device similar to my guitar processor and creates some amazing new sounds for the music. I was very intrigued by the way the DJ created the sounds so I wanted to try it for myself. I plugged my drum machine into my guitar processor and plugged them both into a guitar amplifier. I turned all the devices on and started experimenting. Some of the effects on the guitar processor were too noisy for the drum machine and made it sound uncontrolled. There were other effects I tried out that made some very interesting sounds on the drum beats. I took notes on what processor effects were good for the drum machine for future use. My research method was similar to research methods psychologists use because...

...The MOSFET – Metal Oxide FET As well as the Junction Field Effect Transistor (JFET), there is another type of Field Effect Transistor available whose Gate input is electrically insulated from the main current carrying channel and is therefore called an Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor or IGFET. The most common type of insulated gate FET which is used in many different types of electronic circuits is called the Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor or MOSFETfor short. The IGFET or MOSFET is a voltage controlled field effect transistor that differs from a JFET in that it has a “Metal Oxide” Gate electrode which is electrically insulated from the main semiconductor N-channel or P-channel by a very thin layer of insulating material usually silicon dioxide, commonly known as glass. This ultra thin insulated metal gate electrode can be thought of as one plate of a capacitor. The isolation of the controlling Gate makes the input resistance of the MOSFET extremely high way up in the Mega-ohms ( MΩ ) region thereby making it almost infinite. As the Gate terminal is isolated from the main current carrying channel “NO current flows into the gate” and just like the JFET, the MOSFET also acts like a voltage controlled resistor were the current flowing through the main channel between the Drain and Source is proportional to the input voltage. Also like the JFET, the MOSFETs very high input resistance can easily accumulate large amounts of static charge resulting in the MOSFET becoming...

...background All electronic devices and circuits generate excess heat and if the operating temperature exceeds the certain limit it greatly effects the performance of the device and consumer safety, thus require thermal management to improve reliability and prevent premature failure. With the continuous increase in functionality and performance of electronics chips, along with the advancement in technology for large-scale integration of electronic circuits into compact form, the demand for greater heat dissipation in a more constricted space has grown tremendously. However, the traditional approach may not be feasible for some newer electronic devices because of cost, size, power consumption, reliability, weight,...

...Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Impacts of social media Does emergent social technology improve our lives or ultimate bring complications? To understand the impact of social technology or social network for that matter, it is important to define what social media is. Social media is a platform that is used to connect people and interact with other individuals having similar interests to oneself through of applications or websites. Social networking can be viewed from different aspects depending on one's opinion. Impacts brought by social networking can both be negative and positive, and this trickles down to the intentions of setting up that particular network of interaction. It will, therefore, be unjust for me to say that social media has improved or brought complications in our lives. This paper would like to review different research outcomes and opinions from both sides of the divide. My opinion is that society has gained a lot and yet to gain even more from social media. Social media has given a platform to communicate effectively to many across the world, use of the social network as means to share reading materials has helped in reducing illiteracy and improve human enlightenment. The most important part of society is how members of the society relate. How children relate to their parents and their peers after interaction with the social network is prone to change. Through social network, they are re-establish old contacts, meeting new people...

...Electronic Devices Can Be an Educational Curse or Blessing I thought I had seen everything after watching middle school kids text-messaging during the funeral of one of my high school students. Then, our school had its first play in three years. Throughout the audience, parents' faces were aglow as they text-messaged throughout their children's performances. Mostly, I was a bear about electronic devices in class. Even during the worst of our school's gang-related violence, my students kept their cell phones out of sight and usually out of mind. Periodically, though, we would be working and I would see several students start to sneak a peak at their phones. Then we would hear shouting in classrooms and the halls and there would be a stampede of students, including mine, to a fight. I also saw the same thing in the gym. I would be playing ball with my students during my planning period and, all of a sudden, students from across the school and adults from the neighborhood would rush towards a brawl. Had our school been able to prevent abuses of the new technology, I believe, another of my former students would be alive today. On the other hand, when students needed to take a call during class, they knew I would not question their word. If a student asked to step outside to answer their phone, my response was "of course." If a kid made simple eye contact and pointed to a phone, I would just nod, and the student would handle business and then return to work. One year, I had such...

...In this article entitled “Plugged-in teens find it tough to turn it all off get some sleep” the author, Linda Shrieves, states: “Today’s teens are loading up on junk sleep because they sleep with so many distracting devices.” So, the increasing dominance of electronics in children’s bedrooms leads to decrease the sleep quality. For instance, the author presented an example of a teenager who keeps her phone close by when she is sleeping. Even if, the teenager admits she did not have a good quality of sleep, she can’t change her lifestyle. Also, the author pointed out some survey’s results about the number of devices used by children. As a result, they concluded that children who had more than four electronic devices in their room were getting less sleep. Another problem is that children leave the devices on during the night; so, the noise can wake them up, and children experience less quality rest. Also, any devices with light have a negative impact...
